County staff who serve as mental health professionals from the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) are present in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). They offer a variety of services to families at schools and at select county locations, including:
- School-based teams are in select schools to enable students to attend behavioral health appointments with a therapist during the school day. A student or family may contact their student services staff (counselor, social worker or psychologist) to discuss eligibility for this service.
- Additionally, through the partnership between the CSB and FCPS, youth may access services through the Student Assistance Program.
- In response to the continued need for support for those affected by opioid use, the CSB’s Youth Medication-Assisted Treatment program, previously only offered at the Sharon Bulova Center in Merrifield, recently expanded to include a clinic at the Gerry Hyland Government Center in South County.
- Community-based behavioral health services for youth ages 5 to 18 and their families are now available in more locations: Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center, Hybla Valley Community Center and James Lee Community Center.
