The SYFS clinical team provides wraparound support, counseling, and clinical consultation to students in our school partner districts. Our primary goal is to reach students directly and remove any barriers to treatment by providing services in the school setting. Our referrals come from school personnel from the elementary through high school level, though parents/legal guardians must give permission for the child to receive behavioral health services.
