Referral Process

When a parent, educator or other source identifies a student as potentially needing school- or community-based mental health services, the student shall be seen by a school-based mental health professional, such as a school counselor or school social worker, to assess whether further referral is necessary.

Parental Consent

Parents can opt into school-based behavioral health referrals at any time during the school year should the services become necessary. Any Student who receives behavioral health services from Roosevelt School District or a community partner must have a signed informed consent from the parent. If a student is enrolled in community-based behavioral health services, staff shall also seek parental permission through a Release of Information to the Community with outside mental health care providers regarding the student’s care. Parents can revoke their consent at any time.
