Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT)
Each school year, 1st through 12th graders are able to receive five free counseling sessions with an outside licensed provider for free through an iPad that is set up at each campus and the DAEP. This is not for an immediate crisis as paperwork must be completed prior to services beginning and appointments cannot be started the same day as the referral.

Are you interested in starting services with TCHATT? Email your student’s campus counselor to give you a call so that you can discuss the reason for the referral with them. They can put in the referral within 24 business hours. You will then be contacted by a TCHATT representative about completing paperwork online. If you are unable to complete it online or prefer a paper copy, let the counselor know so that they can send one home.
