Referrals
Would you like to refer someone to our help? Here’s how we can help. (Please note we do not accept REFERRALS Via Fax)
It can be difficult to know where to start when you or someone you know is struggling. At Sweetgrass, we sometimes receive referrals for folks that aren’t ready for therapy or aren’t a good fit for assessment. The process of being passed from one helper to another without really being helped can be exhausting and demoralizing for those individuals. Therefore, we ask that you think through all the potential resources that exist before making a referral to us.
Resources to consider first
Before contacting us, there are resources which might already be in place to help.
Have you checked in with the resources below to see if they can help?
School Counselors
Your child’s school counselor is familiar with all the resources available in the school building, including options for group or individual counseling, academic support, problem-solving teams for behavioral and learning difficulties, and evaluations for IEPs and 504 plans.
Teachers
Teachers often spend more time with our children than we do! Consequently, they are often great partners for tackling emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties.
Law Enforcement
Law enforcement professionals can help connect us to community providers and resources. They work in tandem with schools and can be part of a team of support people to help families and children safe.
Lawyers
Lawyers can help answer questions related to mental health, such as custody arrangements and substance related offenses. If your mental health needs intersect with your legal history, contact your attorney before reaching out to us as they can help you navigate the systems in the appropriate order with the right people.
Disability Determination Services (DDS) / Social Security Administration (SSA)
DDS/SSA can help if you have a disability that prevents you from working. They have their own process for evaluating disabilities and must be contacted directly to begin this process…
