Child and Family Agency Information
- All New London Public Schools have a School-Based Health Center, which are operated by the school’s community partner, Child & Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut.
- A School-Based Health center is different from the school nurse’s office and your community primary care doctor, but works in collaboration with them.
- Students must be signed up for School-Based Health Center services by a parent/legal guardian.
- Once signed up, students can receive the services listed below.
- Health insurance is billed for services provided, but there is no cost to the family (no co-pays, deductible costs, or out-of-pocket expenses).
- Each School-Based Health Center has a Nurse Practitioner (APRN) and a Masters level Mental Health Clinician.
- You can find registration forms at the school-based health center, in your school nurse’s office, or at the Welcome Center.You can download the forms in English or Spanish here: http://www.childandfamilyagency.org/what-we-do/forms/
