School-Based Counseling

Lighthouse Behavioral Health and Wellness Center School-Based Counseling Program provides on-site counseling, case management, and skills training services to at-risk students attending Schools in the Greater Boston Area. The goal of LBHWC School-Based Counseling Program is to provide high-quality, comprehensive school counseling services to all students.

Our programs are designed to help students develop and enhance their academic, behavioral, and personal/social strengths by supporting and empowering students as they identify and learn healthy coping skills so they can succeed academically as well as at home and in the community. Families within our communities are also dealing with economic difficulties, lack of transportation, parents dealing with their own mental health issuers has increased the rate of noncompliance to appointments in the office setting.

To this end, mental health agencies are finding that meeting the client in the comfort of his or her environment — home or school — leads to greater success in maintaining consistent clinical contact and achieving greater outcomes.
