New Hanover County Schools and the New Hanover County Health Department have joined together to provide an additional support for students and their families in the school setting. A Health Department licensed clinical therapist is available to provide mental health services such as evaluation, individual, family, and group therapy to children and adolescents with moderate to severe behavioral and emotional problems. School based mental health services are currently available in 15 New Hanover County schools. There is no direct cost to the consumer (insurances will be billed).
Referrals for services can be made through the school or to the therapist directly.
