We are thrilled to partner with a local community agency, Sweetser, who provides school-based counseling support to students with emotional and behavioral challenges, or who are at risk. Sweetser is a non-profit community health organization that is accessed through individual family's health insurance.
Our school-based clinician is able to provide individual, family and group therapy in the natural and familiar setting of the school, in a family's home or in an office-based setting. Specific, individualized services are designed to provide rapid access, a comprehensive assessment and solution-focused treatment for individuals, groups and/or families.
Why would a parent, staff member or primary care physician consider referring a child or adolescent to a Sweetser school-based clinician?
Perhaps a child or adolescent is:
Refusing to attend school
Being bullied or bullying others
Sad, withdrawn, isolated
Experiencing weight loss or gain
Talking about harming themselves
Angry, defiant, disrespectful
Suffering from the loss of a loved one
Involved with drugs or alcohol
Experiencing issues related to a change within the family (separation, divorce)
How would a parent or guardian make a referral to a Sweetser school-based clinician?
