School-Based Behavioral Health (SBBH) services are delivered
in accordance with an individualized education program/modification
plan (IEP/MP). Services are accessed based upon team decision. Requests
for services may be made to the student's teacher, Student Services
Coordinator (SSC) or school administrator.
Intensive Mental Health Services are implemented for youth
whose complex needs extend beyond their school-based educational
program (and whose community and home environments require additional
specific supports). These services are implemented so that these youth
may achieve a moderate degree of emotional and behavioral stability and
benefit from their educational program more fully. Youth who have been
identified by an IEP/MP team to require intensive mental health
services, using guidelines in Section IV of the Department of Education
and Department of Health Interagency Performance Standards and
Practice Guidelines, are enrolled with the Family Guidance Center
(FGC) located in the school district of their home school. They are
assigned an FGC Mental Health Care Coordinator (MHCC) at that time. The
youth may, and often will, continue to receive SBBH services and
supports in conjunction with the intensive mental health services.
Department of Health/Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division
(DOH/CAMHD) services and supports are delivered based upon decisions by
the IEP/MP/CSP team and FGC clinical review (as appropriate). The
exception to this is Emergency Services.
SBBH and CAMHD services, whether they are delivered by employees or
contract providers, are expected to be initiated and provided in a
timely and consistent manner, as guided by the standards in the
Interagency Performance Standards and Practice Guidelines.
