Behavioral Health Services North (BHSN)
Behavioral Health Services North will work with Safe Schools/Healthy Students schools in Clinton County to provide comprehensive assessments and clinic services. Clinicians and parents work together to plan services that best meet the needs of the child. No services will be provided to the child without the written permission of the parent/guardian.
If the initial screening indicates a child may benefit from individual services, the on-site clinician and the parent will discuss the benefits of the child participating in a comprehensive assessment. This assessment is completed by the clinician and can take place either on-site at the district or off-site to meet the family’s needs. Results of this assessment are kept confidential and only shared if given permission by the parent.
Clinics are offered both on-site at the districts and off-site to promote social and emotional health among children and their families. All clinic services are based on individual needs. Clinicians and parents work together to plan services that best meet the needs of the child.
