The Loveland City School District partners with The Children's Home of Cincinnati to provide school-based counseling services. This partnership provides students with high-quality mental health services to help ensure academic success. The Children's Home services are provided in the school, at home, or at The Children's Home location by a licensed mental health therapist. The Children's Home provides independently licensed therapists at all of the Loveland school buildings to serve students with mental health challenges. 

These optional services are available to all Loveland students and allow families the choice of accessing a private therapist on-site at their student's school building. This reduces the time students miss from class and eliminates the need for parents/guardians and students to travel to these appointments. 

The therapist works with the student and parent/guardian to determine the specific plan that meets the needs of the student. Concerns addressed include, but are not limited to: 

• Stress/trauma
• ADHD
• Anxiety
• Depression/mood disorders
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Families can cover the cost of these optional services through insurance, Medicaid, or private pay options. 

You can contact your student's school counselor at 513-774-6297 or  Purdinro@lovelandschools.org for information, questions or to refer your student.
