Private Counseling Services

Ammonoosuc Community Health Services, Inc.

Dear Parent/Guardians,

Late last summer, Superintendent Laurie Melanson approached Ammonoosuc Community Health Services (ACHS) with the idea of delivering much-needed behavioral health services directly to SAU 23 schools. The thought was that by removing barriers in transportation and cost we could make it easier for students to get the services they deserve. With this collaborate effort, ACHS is pleased to now offer counseling services at your child’s school.

Could your child benefit from speaking to a behavioral health  specialist during school? ACHS can help!

ACHS is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center providing integrated primary care to over 10,000 residents at our six area sites. At your school, our team of licensed behavioral health specialists will provide guidance and emotional support to students, as well as conduct assessments of individuals who may need additional treatment either by ACHS or other community resources. We’ll use a wide variety of counseling services, including educational, group, family and individual counseling to deliver the best quality care.

As a community health center providing integrated primary care services, ACHS can bill your public and or private insurance carrier for counseling services. We also offer a sliding fee payment scale for those who qualify. If you think your child could benefit from at-school behavioral health services, please complete the enrollment packet and provide parental or legal guardian consent.

The ACHS team is looking forward to working with you and your child as well as the staff of SAU 23. We welcome your feedback and would be glad to answer any questions you have. You can reach our team is through our support person Meg Trudell at 444-8296.

Sincerely,

Stephen Noyes, LICSW

Director of Integrated Behavioral Health

Ammonoosuc Community Health Services, Inc.

As a parent and or legal guardian you should know that due to federal privacy laws, substance abuse services for individuals 13 years of age and older maybe delivered without parental consent or knowledge. In most instances we work with the student to encourage them to involve their parents and other loved ones in their care. Under these laws however, an individual cannot be forced to involve parents or release protected information. There are also instances when a child reports neglect, physical and or sexual abuse which requires us to report this to the division of children youth and family services. This, like the laws to protect substance abuse information, can be done without the knowledge and or consent of the parent or legal guardian.
