School Based Outpatient Program
elementary to high school
What is it?
We provide counseling and psychiatric treatment for children and adolescents within their school setting before, during, and after school hours. We currently provide services within school districts in Berks and Montgomery counties.
Our School Based Outpatient Program brings interventions and supports directly to students. This approach increases access to treatment, helps students achieve success in school and at home, strengthens collaboration with families, and improves engagement with the community.
Challenges we specialize in addressing include anxiety, behavioral outbursts, depression, parent-child challenges, peer relationships, stress, trauma, unwanted thoughts and feelings, and more.
These services may include individual, play, group or family therapy. Psychiatric and psychological services are also available.
