Help a Student Get Connected to Support

Sometimes a student doesn't need to be in crisis to need someone to talk to. They may be struggling with anxiety, emotions, relationships, grief, trauma, behavior, or simply trying to navigate everything happening in their world.

Anchor Counseling & Support Services partners with schools to provide accessible, trauma-informed mental health support for students.

If you are a school counselor, social worker, administrator, teacher, or other designated school professional and believe a student could benefit from additional support, you can submit a referral below.

Who Can Submit a Referral?

School-based referrals may be submitted by:

• School Counselors

• School Social Workers
