Malvern Community Health Services
Our Mission: Malvern Community Health Services seeks to support children and adults and their families (fathers and mothers), role models of both genders, caregivers, friends and members of their spiritual community of choice, to have access to individualized, strength-based, trauma informed quality behavioral health supports and services that foster choices so that they may enjoy meaningful relationships and a life worth living in our communities.
Malvern offers expert and caring behavioral health services for children, adolescents, and adults throughout southeastern Pennsylvania.
Our Outpatient Therapy program provides office-based counseling staffed with therapists who work compassionately with both youths and adults.
Our Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS), also known as Wrap Around, is a unique therapeutic program that enables our clinicians to help youths and their families wherever assistance is needed, in the youth’s home, school, or community.
The Upper Perkiomen School District utilizes Malvern for school based and school therapeutic services.
What is School-Based?
School based outpatient treatment is similar to office based outpatient therapy except that it is provided within an office in a school during the school day. We provide individual, group and family therapy. We closely coordinate our efforts with those of the teachers, counselors, social workers, and administrators.
Services are provided by Master’s level clinicians and include an Initial Psychosocial Assessment, Individual Therapy, Family Therapy and Group Therapy. School Based Therapists include families and school staff in the treatment process to help students achieve success at school and at home. Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management are available as needed.
Referrals are made through the school and the student must be eligible to receive Medical Assistance. Not every school has this program available. If your child’s school does not have this program, we are available to assist you through office-based outpatient treatment.
What are School Therapeutic Services (STS)?
Eligible students are in grades K through 8 who have a behavioral health diagnosis that impacts their performance in school. This program is funded under Medical Assistance.
What does this program offer?
Our STS staff provides comprehensive therapeutic interventions that are closely coordinated with the school staff. Our program consists of a team of behavioral health professionals who are based within the school, providing treatment to students who have been assigned to the program. STS provides a flexible delivery of services based upon need.
The STS team consists of the following specialists:
-
The Lead Clinician (LC) designs behavioral interventions in collaboration with the treatment team, school staff, and family. The LC provides family liaison and treatment planning, linkage with other service providers, case consultation, supervision and implementation of the care plan, and individual treatment and crisis intervention.
