DSCYF Education/Mental Health Transition Protocol

Identification and Referral Quick Reference
This is a quick reference for what to do in a non-emergency or crisis situation. As well as how to contact the school liaisons for the Rockford Center

How to Access Mental Health Services
This is a general reference that can be used to explain what steps to take to access mental health and substance abuse services for your child. It explains what to do in an emergency, a non-emergency, when you have insurance questions, and how to apply for Disabled Child's Medicaid, a type of insurance that is based on the child's diagnosis (Axis I and some Axis II diagnoses) and the child's income - NOT THE PARENTS' INCOME - so this is a way of getting benefits that one's private insurance does not cover.
