Counselor's Corner

The Counselors’ Corner ~ Fall 2019

We would like to remind parents that several agencies in the community provide counseling and other support services to children and families. Most agencies below can provide outreach services. Outreach means they may be able to come to your home or your child’s school to provide counseling support.

If you are interested in learning more about available services, you should contact the community agency’s intake department directly. The intake worker will be able to answer your questions about insurance coverage and the availability of services. If there is a waiting list, please sign up anyway. It is okay to be on more than one waiting list!

 

If your child is in immediate danger of harming self or others, you should dial 9-1-1.

For a mental health emergency, you may call Crisis Services at (413) 774-5411.
