School-Based Services

At Angelus We LOVE working with Kids!

They have so much raw curiosity and potential that it is an amazing feeling to watch them grow and be able to take part in any portion of the process.

At Angelus, we understand the importance of nurturing your child’s emotional well-being. Our dedicated team is here to support students across various school districts, including Laurel, Mohawk, Shenango, and Wilmington. We believe that a strong mind goes hand in hand with academic success, and we’re committed to providing the guidance and tools your child needs to thrive.

What We Offer: Our school-based counseling services are tailored to meet the unique needs of students from kindergarten through 12th grade as well as the needs of each school district. We create a safe and welcoming space where your child can express their thoughts and feelings, develop essential life skills, and build a strong foundation for their future. Scheduling time for counseling can be more then a struggle at times when balancing school, work and extracurricular activities and it is the reality that many kids go without needed mental health treatment just due to the scheduling and transportation issues. We have developed our school-based services in Lawrence County to help us expand our ability to reach children and families who may be struggling. With sessions available at the school and during the school day, it gives supports to families when and where they need it.

Together, we can foster a strong foundation for your child’s emotional well-being and academic success.

  • Our Wellness programs in Laurel and Shenango have to be initiated on the side of the school administration or guidance departments to add in supports when they identify areas of need.
  • Compass School Based Counseling, can be initiated by either the family or suggested by the school but it is a separate entity to the school wellness programs and follows all the same steps and processes as you would experience in our New Castle or Hermitage outpatient offices. Parents are encoruaged to be involved throughout the process and counseling sessions are billed through the child’s medical insurance. 

We’re here to support your child every step of the way. Contact us today to embark on a journey towards a brighter and more resilient future.
