The School-Based Mental Health Program (SMHP) offers a partnership between the Elmira City School District (ECSD) and the Family Services of Chemung County, Inc. (FSCC) Mental Health Clinic with the support of the County.
The program offers on‐site individual and family assessment and therapy services to students and their families. It is designed to allow greater access to community and home‐based mental health services for children and their families, and can provide counseling support to individuals of all needs. The SMHP Therapists are qualified licensed mental health service providers who will work with family members, school staff, and other involved parties to meet the individual needs of the students. Referrals to the SMHP may be made through each school’s KidTALK Meeting and/or by designated school staff with the completion of the SMHP Referral Form available in each school’s front office.
