FAQ’s How long does it take for a student to be seen by a mental health provider or school social worker?
It can take up to 1 week to process a referral. The more information provided in the referral, the faster it will be processed. It is important to include medical coverage information (Medi-Cal number, etc.), and as much information as possible relevant to student needs, in order to link the student to the most appropriate services. For students in crisis, please follow crisis procedures to connect the student to services immediately. If a student is expressing suicidal thoughts, respond immediately.
How will parent/guardians know when their student will be receiving services?
Parents/guardians are notified of the status of the referral submitted at their child’s school site, or by the assigned provider. Should parents/guardians or staff have any questions on the status, they may contact the District School Linked Services Coordinator(s) at 408-283-6092.
How will I know my referral has been received?
If you would like a confirmation receipt of your referral, please check the confirmation box in the referral form along with entering your email address. For immediate need, please contact the District School Linked Services Coordinator(s) at 408-283-6092.
