One of the most important clinical decisions a school counselor makes is the referral. At CityPrep, we help you find the line between school-based support and clinical care to ensure students get the help they need.

Clinical Indicators for Referral

\n\n

Refer when symptoms significantly impair functioning or lack of progress occurs. For more on professional growth, see our guide to the best certifications. You can find mental health providers on Psychology Today. This is also relevant for hard conversations.

Making the Referral Stick

\n\n

Frame it as an addition, not a replacement. For more on leading difficult news, read our post on hard conversations. This is a key part of grief support.
