School Based Counseling (SBC)
SBC provides Specialty Mental Health Services to students referred by Paradise Unified School District.
How does it work?
The school will refer you to Youth For Change where you will meet with a specially trained clinician to collect information on how you have been feeling and the services you may need to overcome challenges in your life. Based on this assessment, you will create an individualized treatment plan with your clinician to identify your goals. You will meet with your clinician for individual, group and/or family services. Based on the completion of these goals, you and your clinician will determine when services should increase, decrease, or end.
