In collaboration with Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care (UBHC), Harbor School offers The School-Based Program.
The goal of School-Based is to create a healthy environment for learning that promotes academic and life success for all of our students. UBHC and Harbor School partner to develop prevention and intervention strategies to meet this goal. This service, at no charge to the parents, allows us to better address the mental health and psychiatric needs of some of our more challenging developmentally disabled students.
The School Based Program provides a range of free and confidential mental health services including:
- Medication Management with Child Psychiatrist
- Individual Counseling
- Family Counseling
- Case Management/Referral Services
- Staff Consultation
- Crisis Intervention
- And More
Dr. Clarita Obleada – Child Psychiatrist, visits once a week to meet with families/students for medication management of specifically-identified students.
Pamela Scarpa, LPC – Mental Health Clinician works collaboratively with Dr. Obleada, and the Harbor Staff, families and students. She observes students, advises teachers, develops behavior plans, and monitors student progress. She provides individual and family counseling and facilitates crisis intervention as needed to support the positive mental health of our students.
