Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare to
offer services at Seaside schools
By Katherine Lacaze
Seaside Signal
Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare,
in partnership with the Seaside
School District, is giving children
the opportunity to have their behav-
ioral health needs met directly at
school.
At last month’s meeting, the
Seaside School Board of Direc-
tors voted unanimously to approve
a memorandum of understanding
with Clatsop Behavioral Health-
care that will allow the organiza-
tion to provide its services in the
Seaside schools. Doing so will
mitigate the need for parents and
students to travel to Astoria to re-
ceive those services, Superinten-
dent Doug Dougherty said.
With the agreement, the dis-
trict and agency have partnered
“to provide mental health preven-
tion, assessment and treatment to
children and adolescents enrolled
at the agency and who attend” a
Seaside school, the memorandum
states.
The county agency has offered
this opportunity to all the school
districts, some of which also have
established an agreement, such as
the Astoria School District and the
Knappa School District, Dough-
erty said, who also noted that the
reason for the effort is so “parents
and students will be able to access
those services directly within our
school district.”
The partners are seeking to
“support a school environment in
which all children are emotion-
ally prepared, ready to learn and
able to progress toward produc-
tive adulthood,” the memorandum
states.
The services were scheduled to
begin some time this week. A cli-
nician from Clatsop Behavioral
Healthcare will have a presence
at each of the Seaside schools on
various weekdays to conduct ther-
apeutic meetings with students. No
drop-in students will be allowed
and new students seeking treatment
and consultation of therapy must
be referred to Clatsop Behavioral
Healthcare for future services. The
clinician, as noted in the memo-
randum, also will provide support,
consultation and training to teach-
ers, administrators and school staff.
The schedule is to be deter-
mined, Dougherty said. The col-
laboration will not cost the school
district anything; the schools only
need to provide a private room and
wireless Internet services for the
clinician to conduct meetings with
students. The district must provide
a space for the clinician to use
during summer session, as well.
At the meeting, Director of Spe-
cial Services Elizabeth Friedman
said she was anxious for the program
County prescription card
program offers discounts
Clatsop County has
joined a new program to
help county residents man-
age the cost of prescription
medications.
Through a partnership
with the National Associ-
ation of Counties, the free
prescription discount card
program provides Clatsop
County residents with a
card that can save them an
average of 24 percent off
the retail price of prescrip-
tion medications.
The card is available
for use regardless of age
or income and can be used
by those who do not have
insurance or who have
prescriptions not covered
by insurance.
The card can also be
used to save money on
some pet medications. It
is accepted at 65,000 phar-
macies nationwide includ-
ing all the major chains
like Wal-Mart, CVS/phar-
macy, Walgreens, Giant,
Safeway and Rite Aid.
Participating pharmacies
also include the majority
of community-based, in-
dependent pharmacies.
The prescription dis-
count cards are available
in Clatsop County at nu-
to begin. About 40 students in the
school district were existing clients
of Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare,
according to the most recent data
collected in December. Those stu-

ing able to access their care right at
their schools, which will provide a
familiar setting for consultation and
treatment, Friedman said. Clatsop
Behavioral Healthcare also is willing
to send someone to Seaside to meet
with families on referrals, she added.
In other news:
• The board voted unanimous-
ly to approve a recommendation
from the Building and Grounds
Committee to declare an emer-
gency and allow the district to
pursue having a roof replaced on
the Gearhart Elementary School’s
portable classroom. The roof was
blown off during a recent storm.
• The board unanimously ap-
proved a motion to accept cultural
exchange students through a new
organization, CCI Greenheart.
Board member Hugh Stelson said
CCI Greenheart seems to be “the
kind of organization the board
should endorse.”
• Seaside High School juniors
and seniors will be attending a
special student-centered job fair
being put on by Clatsop Economic
Development Resources. The job
fair is scheduled for April 15 at
the Clatsop County Fairgrounds.

org. Residents can locate
the nearest participating
pharmacy from the same
website or call toll-free at

tance with the program.
The program is admin-
istered by CVS Caremark.
It is not an insurance plan.
“We are pleased to
work with counties across
the country to bring
cost-saving programs to
those who need them,”
said Riki Hokama, presi-
dent of the National Asso-
ciation of Counties. “Our
ultimate goal is to help
counties and their resi-
dents, and efforts like this
offer them an important
service.”
Clatsop County joins
more than 1,400 counties
across the country offering
the prescription discount
card program to residents.
Since the program’s incep-
tion in 2005, participating
counties have saved their
residents more than $586
million on the cost of their
prescriptions.
