What is the relationship between ACA and ASCA? How does the divide at the national level impact the community level? Results from a qualitative research study are detailed in this presentation. Participants identified collaboration with community mental health counselors as an essential component in meeting the mental health needs of their students. Although the ASCA National Model (2012) discusses the referral process in depth, there is little guidance about how to proceed if the outside referral process is not effective.
