Mental Health Consultation Clinic

The mental health consultation clinic provides psychiatric consultation and care planning for any child or adolescent enrolled in the WS/FCS who is referred by school personnel or primary care providers. Psychiatric treatment services including therapy and medication management are also available.

How it works?

  • Any Winston Salem/Forsyth County School student age 5 and older who is not already involved in psychiatric care may be considered for a referral.
  • The referring school personnel (i.e. social worker, guidance counselor, psychologist) gathers information from the student, parents, and school.
  • If the referring school thinks the student may benefit from this service, he/she discusses the program with the student and parents.
  • The referring school personnel completes with the student, parents and teachers the referral forms and sends them to the Mental Health Consultation Clinic team for review.
  • The clinic team meets to discuss the student’s needs and decides whether this clinic and/or other resources will best meet the student’s need.
  • If recommended by the team meeting, the MHCC psychiatrist will evaluate the student with their parent/guardian present and assist the family doctor in developing the student’s plan of care.
  • The Clinic Team works with the student, parents, and school to monitor the plan of care for a period of one year after the student’s first visit to the MHCC.
