School-based Counseling
Catholic Charities’ School-based Counseling program partners with seven select inner-city schools to provide a “safety net” for students and their families.
These children face complex and often dangerous circumstances, grief and
loss, family with mental illness or chemical dependency, family
violence and gang pressures. With our help, they are not alone.
Licensed clinical social workers trained to provide mental health and social services serve children at these sites as a natural part of their school experience. Students can access counseling by themselves or be referred by a teacher, parent or friend.
