SCHOOL-BASED COUNSELING

To improve access to mental and behavioral health care services, Methodist Family Health has established school-based counseling programs in select cities in Arkansas.

Outpatient Mental Health Services in Arkansas Schools

Our school-based counseling program provides convenient, comprehensive and confidential assessment and treatment services for children and youth on an outpatient basis. Our treatment methods take a holistic, trauma-informed team approach, meaning counselor, student and the student’s family are all critical to achieving positive outcomes in treating behavioral, emotional, learning and adjustment issues.

Specific Resources Include:

Individual, family and group counseling.
Registered play therapists.
Grief and trauma specialists.
Psychological testing, including autism spectrum disorders.
Medication consultation and management.

When necessary, families are connected with additional resources, such as board-certified psychiatrists and child psychiatrists, case managers and other qualified mental health professionals.

Methodist Family Health may also recommend transferring a case from the school setting to one of several other inpatient, outpatient and residential programs within our continuum of care. In this way, Methodist Family Health helps place children and youth in the best environment for their development, treatment and well-being.

We accept most private and public insurance, including Medicaid and ARKids.

Methodist Family Health’s school-based counseling services are available in-person or by phone or Internet. No matter where you are in Arkansas, we are only a call away. Call 877-778-1197 or e-mail Info@MethodistFamily.org for information or an appointment.
