Satellite clinic offers support for our students
Warwick Valley Central School District is pleased to collaborate with the Orange County Department of Mental Health for the benefit of students. This is a service that can be utilized only by our Warwick students and their families. Parents may initiate these services through school personnel. If you are interested in learning more about the services please contact any of our school psychologists, social workers or school counselors for more information, or call: 845-858-1456.
What is a Satellite Clinic?
Research has shown that children are more likely to access needed mental health services when those services are located at their school. Children who receive mental health services coordinated with their educational services experience greatly improved outcomes. This means that by working together we can help your child to be happier, healthier and more successful at school. We know that being a parent can be stressful, so the district and the Orange County Department of Mental Health Port Jervis Outpatient Clinic have teamed up to offer support in your child’s school.
Outcomes
School-based mental health services improve academic performance as evidenced by fewer course failures and higher G.P.A.s.
Studies show that students involved in school-based mental health programs learn positive coping skills and exhibit fewer disruptive behaviors, improving attendance and decreasing disciplinary referrals.
Students who receive support from school-based mental health clinicians report high rates of satisfaction and more protective factors.
