How can my child participate?
- Contact your school counselor and ask about TCHATT.
- Your school counselor will contact TCHATT for you and help you sign up.
- Someone from TCHATT will call or email you to schedule the first appointment with you and your child. All TCHATT sessions are virtual.
- Your child will begin virtual sessions in a private space at their school or at home. Sessions can include assessments, coping techniques, and education for your child on managing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
- If your child needs more mental health care, TCHATT will help you find other community services.
If you or your child’s school district is not yet part of the TCHATT program, reach out to an administrator and tell them about the program. There is no cost to enroll.
