MC3 offers psychiatry consultation and behavioral health education in select intermediate school districts (ISDs) in Michigan. These consultations and education are provided to licensed school mental health professionals through the following key offerings:
Group clinical consultation gives licensed behavioral health professionals within the same ISD the opportunity to meet monthly to discuss complex students and receive behavioral health recommendations from our consulting specialists including child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and a local MC3 Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC). Behavioral health resource recommendations are provided by local BHCs.
Drop-in office hours provide an opportunity for school-based professionals, including school therapists, social workers, psychologists, and school nurses, to join a virtual meeting to receive behavioral health guidance from MC3 consulting clinicians, including child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists. No appointment is necessary, and professionals can choose to drop in whenever they have the need for consultation.
Based on feedback received from participating ISDs, MC3 provides three 90-minute web-based trainings each year on behavioral health concerns frequently seen in the school setting. These trainings are offered live with CEUs as well as recorded and made available for school professionals to watch on their own time. Previous training recordings can be found below.
Reflective consultation is a relationship-based approach where mental health professionals from the same ISD meet monthly to explore their thoughts and feelings about their work with a qualified consultant to help manage powerful emotions that often accompany the work.
MC3 is not an emergency service. MC3 psychiatrists do not prescribe medication or provide ongoing treatment but support providers as they provide care.
Licensed school mental health professionals who work in select ISDs are eligible to receive these school-based services. If you work in an ISD in Michigan that is not yet participating in MC3 consultation and are interested in learning more, contact us.
