MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Summit On-Site Counseling

As a parent, you want what is best for your child, but it is not always easy to know what type of support they need. Mental health therapy helps your child better understand their personal needs and learn new skills to manage life situations and relationships more effectively. The Summit has partnered with private schools and public school districts to offer confidential mental health therapy, conveniently located in the school. Students have the option to see their therapist at school during the day or at one of our offsite locations in the evening or on weekends. This flexibility allows the therapist to quickly intervene so students get the help they need to achieve their best at school.

 

Bailey Little, M.Ed, Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, has been assigned to Alpharetta High School.  Bailey’s days at AHS will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  FCS has partnered with Summit Onsite to provide school-based counseling services to students.  Students who may benefit from counseling can be referred regardless of insurance status.  There are several financial options available to ensure students are connected with the necessary supports.
