New Milford Public Schools and Connecticut Institute for Communities (CIFC Health) are working together to support students and families by providing mental health services within the district.
What is a School Based Health Center?
What is a School Based Health Center?
As a student enrolled in one of New Milford's Public Schools, your child is eligible to receive mental health services offered during school hours through an on-site CIFC School Based Health Center (SBHC), in addition to the support for all students offered by New Milford Public School counselors. A Licensed Behavioral Health provider and front desk registrar are available to provide care to your child just as a private mental health provider’s office would. Parents/guardians don’t have to miss time from work to take their child to an outside provider for mental health services, since they are provided at the SBHC.
As we are a healthcare provider subject to legal and regulatory compliance requirements, all insurances will be billed for all eligible mental health visits, and invoices for co-pays and/or deductibles will be sent home following future scheduled visits.

If your child is not currently covered under a health insurance plan, please notify the SBHC and an appointment will be made with the CIFC Financial & Insurance Assistance department (FIA).
