The FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will offer Mental Wellness Consultations from June 23 through August 1. Any FCPS parent may schedule a free 45-minute consultation by phone or video conferencing with a school psychologist or school social worker to get the support needed to help your child.
Consultations are offered in two ways:
- Directly to parents of students in any grade level. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social-emotional, behavioral, or academic functioning. Information about community resources will also be made available.
- Directly to students in middle or high school. This consultation provides support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions; as well as academic challenges such as organization, time-management, or adjusting to a new school.
