COUNTY PROGRAMS:

Psychological Services School psychologists ensure that every child learns in a safe, healthy and supportive

• environment. They are school-based mental health professionals trained in both psychology

and education. Psychological services are available to all students. School psychologists use many different approaches to provide these core services: consultation, assessment, intervention, prevention, education, research and planning, and health care provision. They tailor their services to the particular needs of each child and each situation. School psychologists actively seek information about the results of their efforts and how they benefit students by research. They evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs, behavior management systems, and other services so as to generate new knowledge about learning and behavior. They use the results of their research to help schools continue to improve. School psychologists focus on health care provision through collaboration with school and community-based personnel. They advocate for a comprehensive model of school-linked health services that will provide access to community supports and emphasize psychosocial wellness and health-related issues. They foster partnerships with parents and teachers to create healthy safe and supportive school environments.
