Mental Health & Support Services

Students can see their school-based licensed therapist during the school day when it fits best within their schedule, or after school hours, as needed. For convenience and ease of access, there is no need for a student to leave school or for parents to miss work to get to another appointment. All services are confidential and are not part of your student's school records. 

Our partnership with Cincinnati Children’s and their services does not require any financial support from the district. Students and families engaged in services can cover therapy visits through private insurance, Medicaid, or private pay options. Assistance may be available for families experiencing financial difficulty.

Parents, teachers and school counselors can make student referrals for service. Students can also self-refer for services. Ultimately, the decision to move forward with therapeutic services is up to the family.  Please contact your school counselor, principal, or assistant principal if you are concerned about student, would like more information, and/or want to start the referral process.

Yes, information about your student's treatment plan is confidential. It will only be shared with a parent's consent and on a need-to-know basis. 

School counselors serve the entire student population, supporting their social-emotional needs while helping them prepare for their future.

Licensed Therapists, based in a school, are called School-Based Therapists. The therapist serves students referred for therapeutic services to provide more intensive 1:1 support based on the identified mental health, emotional, and behavioral needs.
