Youth Referral Process

  • You can get counseling services started by speaking with the school counselor or social worker.
  • The child’s caregiver will need to attend ONE initial appointment either at the school or at Tompkins County Whole Health.
  • Once the intake with the caregiver is completed, students can receive services at the school.
  • Therapy services are provided through Tompkins County Whole Health; not by the school.
