• Northwell School Mental Health Partnership


     

    The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District - Northwell Health partnership was developed in response to the increasing mental health needs experienced by children and adolescents today. In order to help support our students, the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District established our partnership with Northwell Health to provide K-12 school-based mental health services.

     

    Service Offered

    • Psychiatric Evaluations

      • One day a week, throughout the school year, a psychiatrist from Northwell Health visits our school buildings to conduct psychiatric evaluations. The MD will meet with and sometimes observe the student in school for the first hour. The second hour will be spent with the parents gathering information and discussing recommendations. A full report will be provided to the district within 1-2 weeks following the evaluation and then will be sent to the family. 

    • Connection to Treatment/CARE

      • If you are looking for a therapist, psychiatrist, therapy group, or any other therapeutic support, you can be connected through this service. There are two options: 

        • Treatment through the Northwell South Oaks Outpatient Clinic (COBS)

        • Care Coordination - the Care Coordinator will reach out to you to find out your insurance and your needs and work on finding you a provider in the community who meets your needs.

    • North Well Resiliency Toolkit: A Digital Resource Hub
