About Us
The Waterford School District Counseling Connections Center (CCC) is a school-based service that provides free services to students regardless of their need or income status. The CCC serves children and adolescents in grades preK-12, with an emphasis on elementary students who live within the Waterford School District boundaries. The CCC is located in the Waterford School District’s Covert Center. Funding and support is currently provided by the Safe Schools Healthy Students Initiative.

Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the healthy psychological development of all students, while reducing mental health barriers to successful learning by assisting in early identification of mental health issues, providing family counseling services, easy access and transition to community resources, and ensuring appropriate and quality follow-up.

What We Do

• Develop individual treatment plans with family and parent involvement

• Individual and group therapy sessions

• Provide mental health referrals to community agencies, including appropriate follow-up and monitoring

• Psycho-education and prevention services

• Assist in coordination of services with community agencies

• Parent training on mental health issues

• Assist school staff in early identification of mental health issues

• Provide student follow-up needs to the school

Parental consent is required for all students under the age of 18 in order to receive most services. However, emergency care, crisis intervention, and confidential services, according to the Michigan Minor Law, do not require parental consent.
