Mebs counseling has served students in the Middle School for years and has been billing insurance/medicaid when possible. But in our community meetings this was something parents/students/staff thought we would benefit from having more of on campus. This contract would cover two hours a week of a therapist to meet with students who don't have any insurance coverage. This will help benefit our students who otherwise wouldn't be able to seek mental health therapy due to cost. The referrals will come directly from the student support team and made by counselors and the YSC staff. This time can also be used for small group therapy if deemed appropriate by the staff and the school. We will track the number of students seen and monitor their behavior/grades/attendance to help show that once students are supported they will be successful in the classroom.
