Northern Rivers Family of Service
Research proves that students with access to behavioral health services in school-based health centers are ten times more likely to seek care for mental health or substance abuse than those who do not. Green Island UFSD is partnering with Northern Rivers, providing the following services both individually and in the classroom:
- Individual counseling
- Family counseling
- Group counseling
- Behavioral intervention
- Family support services
Case management, psychiatric consultation, and medication management for children are available as complementary services to the counseling.
School personnel, including the principal and school social worker, can access services for a child and family. Parents or caregivers may also directly contact one of our Behavioral Health Centers to inquire on additional options or for more information.
Our school-based behavioral health offices are open whenever school is in session. Services continue throughout the year including all vacations and summer months. After hours and during vacation periods, our staff can be reached by cell phone.
