School-Based Program
The school-based program is an outpatient therapy program located in the Oil City, Valley Grove and Titusville School Districts. The program provides a safe, structured, nurturing environment where school age youth receive counseling to aid in the improvement of their overall mental health and recovery journey. The funding comes from private insurance, Value Behavioral Health, and both Crawford and Venango Counties.
The program serves students from kindergarten to twelfth grade. Male and female students including the LGBTQ+ community are serviced within both districts. Students under 14 years of age receive family therapy with at least one parent/guardian present, while students 14 or older can receive individual therapy.
