STUDENT ASSISTANCE
 
CARE invests in youth by working with school personnel and parents to promote the healthy development and education of young people.
 

What is CARE's Student Assistance?

  • Does your child have problems at school or in other social settings?
  • Do you think your child may be using alcohol or other drugs?
  • Have teachers or friends suggested your child might need counseling?

CARE's Student Assistance offers families the opportunity to receive a thorough assessment for children who are experiencing substance use or mental health problems.  

Students and their families who are experiencing substance use/mental health concerns and meet certain criteria can meet with an experienced and licensed clinician to gain insight to their problems and receive assistance in gaining access into the most appropriate treatment option depending on the level of care needed by the youth.

CARE's Student Assistance has agreements with many school districts and provides opportunities for the family, district personnel and CARE’s Student Assistance staff to work closely to follow students throughout their substance use or mental health treatment plan.

Resources are provided to students and families to assist with these concerns. CARE has a long history of serving the children and families. Student Assistance agreements differ from district to district.
