Talbert House Community Outreach Prevention & Education (COPE) Groups

Reading Schools is now partnered with Talbert House to provide social skills groups to students. Examples of group topics are friendship skills, conflict resolution, stress management, and goal setting. Groups span the entire semester and referrals are made based on school counselor and family input. These services are provided for students free of charge.

 

Best Point Behavioral Health Partnership (The Children’s Home of Cincinnati)

Reading Schools has been partnered with Best Point to provide school-based mental health services to our students for over 10 years. By providing a space at school for Best Point therapists to provide services, we remove the barrier of transportation that some students may face in accessing mental health care. These services are covered through the student’s insurance or private pay. To refer your child, go to https://bestpoint.org/referral/.
