School Based Mental Health
Services
WHAT are
School based mental health
services?
School based mental health services are professional assessment,
therapy, and skills training provided to individual students at
school, with the support and involvement of the student’s parents.
TSA works with preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school
students and their families.
WHY
provide School based mental
health services?
- Remove barriers for students to
access needed services
- Meet the child in their natural
setting/comfort zone: school and home
- Reduce out of school time to
travel to services
- Increase opportunities to
coordinate services with school staff and
family
- Support student success and
mental health
“Students
won’t get to academic success without the mental health needs
being addressed.”

with families to start services generally within two weeks of

HOW to
arrange for School
based mental health services?
A School staff person suggests that a child may benefit from
mental health services to the student’s parents. If the parents
are interested in accessing services for their child, they may
request the school to assist in making a referral to TSA or the
parents may directly contact TSA to request services.
Services may be provided utilizing Medical Assistance, PMAP, HSA,
Private Pay or Insurance coverage.
