Mental Health Counseling at School

Keyport Public Schools is proud to partner with mental health providers to offer counseling during school hours. Please speak with your child's school counselor to determine which organization is best for you and your child.

Integrated Care Concepts: Located in Tinton Falls, NJ Integrated sends a mental health counselor to both KHS and KCS once a week. Referrals can be made through your child's school counselor.

Community YMCA: YMCA of the Jersey Shore offers mental health counseling to students. They send counselors to KHS and KCS but can also accomodate counseling outside of school at the family's preference. Referrals can be made through your child's school counselor.
