How Students Can Use the Program
If the student is 13 years old and under:
You can call the School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at 541.308.8345 or request an appointment here to refer the student. Our team can contact the student’s guardians to provide a summary of the program and discuss the Release of Information (ROI), which is a consent for the school to help coordinate services. This ROI is required for the student to participate in the program and must be signed by the parents for students 13 years old and under.
Once the form is complete, the SBHC team will schedule a visit, so the Guardian and student can meet the Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) together. This initial visit can be in person at the School-Based Health Center (SBHC) or virtual and is to ensure everyone understands the student’s needs and the next steps for care.
If the student is 14 years or older:
The student can consent for their own behavioral healthcare and can start by completing the Release of Information (ROI), which is a consent for the school to help coordinate services.
Once the student completes the ROI form, they can call 541.308.8345 or request an appointment here to schedule their first visit and meet the Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) virtually.
