You may also attend groups with other students who have similar concerns as you.
Your clinician will arrange for you to see a PATH psychiatrist, if indicated.
You and your family will meet with the psychiatrist who will complete an evaluation and may prescribe medication for you.
You may also receive support from a case manager who will help you and your family obtain additional supports and benefits to meet your academic, social and medical needs.
If you experience a crisis, your clinician and other PATH staff will be available to assist you at any time.
If you experience conflicts in school with other students or teachers, your clinician will help mediate these conflicts.

Your clinician will collaborate with school staff to support your academic progress.
If your family is not able, or prefers not to attend meetings at CEP, your clinician will visit you and your family at your home.
Your clinician or case manager may accompany you to appointments or meetings in the community.
