Healthy Homes to Begin April 5th
On-site Mental Health Counseling
Launch the media gallery 1 playerStudies show that good emotional health has a positive impact on student success at school. Today’s students face many stressors that can affect their emotional health, ranging from brief difficulties that affect a student’s ability to learn to more serious problems that may have a long-term impact on the student’s well-being. While the school counselor may address some concerns, a major crisis or event in the student’s life may require assistance from professional mental health experts.
Therefore, Treynor Community Schools is collaborating with Healthy Homes Family Services Inc. to provide mental health services at the school. This means that your child can obtain, with your permission, counseling services including screenings, crisis counseling, group counseling, and treatment for emotional, behavioral, or mental health problems.
If we feel your child needs a referral to this service, we will contact you immediately unless an emergency prohibits us from doing so. If you are interested fill out the intake packet including the consent form, which you must sign before your child may receive services, and return it Rita Laughlin in the Middle School and High School and Carrie Currin in the Elementary. Services for your child will be billed directly to your insurance.
If you have a concern about your child and would like to request an assessment for services from Healthy Homes Family Services Inc., or have questions or concerns, please contact the guidance counselor at your child’s school.
We are excited about this opportunity to link the school with community mental health resources and hope that you will join us in this effort to make a positive impact on our students’ success.
For additional information about this service, please read the mental health program handout.
