Drop-In Office Hours

Virtual Consultation for School-Based Services

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Drop-In Office Hours for schools participating in MC3’s School-Based Services. We invite you to learn more below:

What are Drop-In Office Hours?

Drop-in Office Hours allow school-based professionals, including school therapists, social workers, psychologists, and school nurses, to join a virtual meeting to receive behavioral health guidance from our consulting clinicians, including child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists.
No appointment is necessary, and professionals can drop in whenever they need consultation.
We are piloting this consultation model in select ISDs/counties during the 2024/2025 school year.
We will offer these office hours multiple times a month for one hour, potentially adjusting the timing and frequency based on the needs and utilization of the service.

What should I expect?

Registration isn’t required.
These sessions are “first come, first served.” Once you enter the Zoom waiting room, we will let you know what number in the queue you are.
If time doesn’t allow for your consultation, we will let you know as quickly as possible and invite you to join another upcoming drop-in session.
Your consultation will be individual, private, and last 15-20 minutes.
You are welcome to join these virtual sessions as often as you like!

How do I prepare?

Identify upcoming office hours sessions you’d like to attend and add them to your calendar. See the October Drop-In Office Hours schedule for upcoming dates, times, and calendar reminder files. The first session will be on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
At the beginning of the consultation, be ready to briefly share the presenting concerns, any relevant history, and your question(s) about how to support the student.
During consultations, please do not share identifying information about any students (e.g., name, date of birth, etc.).
