School-Based Services from KCMHSAS
The school-based prevention initiative was developed in response to youth’s needs.
Two full-time clinical mental health specialists are available to work closely with
school staff (teachers, specialists, administrators) to identify students with unmet
mental health needs and facilitate entry into services as needed. Specialized
curriculums can be developed geared to meet the needs of staff and students.
Fact sheets on disabilities can also be provided.
Some Signs Youth May Need School-Based Assistance:
Seems withdrawn
Exhibits trouble controlling impulsivity
Is aggressive
Shows decline in school performance
Appears inattentive or "daydreams"
Acts sad, nervous, or overly emotional
Talks about death or suicide
Displays inappropriate sexual behavior
How do I receive services? The first step to receiving services is to contact our Access Center. The staff at the Access Center will do an initial screening to determine what services you qualify for and
connect you to those services.
Cost for services Fees are based upon your ability to pay or your health insurance coverage. While no one is denied services based on their financial situation, there may be a waiting list in place to receive non-Medicaid covered services.
