Mental Health Crisis Team
The Stamford Schools now has its own internal mental health crisis team that responds to schools when a student is in crisis. In collaboration with school staff and community provides including Child Guidance Mobile Crisis we provide assessment and intervention as well as crisis stabilization support.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TEAM
The Stamford School also has a Social Emotional Support team. This interdisciplinary team supports elementary schools who are dealing with a student with significate disruptive behavior. The team provides intervention, coaching and consultation to staff and the family to support the student and school needs and to help the student meet with success in the school.
Both programs are supervised by Joe O'Callaghan, LCSW Dept. Head for Social Work at the Stamford Schools. He can be reached at jocallaghan@stamfordct.gov
