• SBHC’s eliminate barriers to treatment such as access to care, scheduling conflicts, and transportation limitations. Students stay in school to receive needed care rather than have to leave and have caregivers take off time from work.
• Students may receive behavioral health counseling from licensed professionals trained in working with children. These counseling sessions will take place in school during the school day.
• SBHC’s are different from the school nurse’s office and community primary care doctors but works in collaboration with them. If your child does not have a primary care provider, efforts will be made to help your family establish one.
• Clinicians are available for crisis intervention as needed for any student enrolled in their SBHC.
