School-Based Therapy Program

What Is School-Based Therapy?

Carolina Family Services provides counseling and behavioral health services to students during the school day. School-based therapy helps children and families access mental health support in a familiar and convenient setting while allowing our school-based therapists to coordinate with families and school personnel when appropriate.

Who Can Receive Services?

School-based therapy services are available to eligible students within the School District of Pickens County. Eligibility and insurance coverage will be reviewed during the referral and intake process.

Schools We Currently Serve

Our school-based therapy program is available district-wide within the School District of Pickens County. Carolina Family Services currently provides on-campus services at Clemson Elementary School and West End Elementary School, with additional school placements based on district needs and program availability.

How to Make a Referral

Families may contact their child's school counselor or teacher, contact Carolina Family Services Intake directly, or complete the online referral form. The online referral form is the preferred way to begin the process.
