Referral Sources
By managing agency contracts, we manage a "virtual" behavioral health center. We utilize a common referral form for all agencies, determine the best immediate referral source, and connect the family with the agency. Additionally, we meet and consult with our providers on processes and supports. Through our various contracts, we have expanded mental health to the extent of over $500,000 in services provided directly to students and families.
