What is a School-Based Health Clinic?
• Are located in schools or on school grounds. • Work cooperatively within the school to become an integral part of the
school. • Provide a comprehensive range of services that meet the specific physical
and behavioral health needs of the young people in the community. • Employ a multidisciplinary team of providers to care for the students: nurse
practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, social workers, physicians, alcohol and drug counselors, and other health professionals.
• Provide clinical services through a qualified health provider such as a hospital, health department, or medical practice.
• Require parents to sign written consents for their children to receive the full scope of services provided at the SBHC.
• Have an advisory board consisting of community representatives, parents, youth, and family organizations, to provide planning and oversight.

… A Collaborative Healthcare Model
Collaborative care combines medical
and behavioral health services to more fully address the spectrum that
defines the patient.
In the Berrien County SBHC mental health professionals work closely with primary care
physicians so that all aspects of the patient are addressed.

Making the Tele-Connection

• Increases access to specialty services, such as psychiatry, dermatology, and nephrology
