The Crisis Intervention & Prevention Team is dedicated to promoting a safe, supportive, and mentally healthy school environment for all students. Comprised of licensed mental health professionals, our team provides compassionate care and timely support across the district.
We respond to mental health crises, serve as key members of HEB ISD’s Threat Assessment Team, and engage in proactive outreach both within the district and throughout the community. In addition, we help connect students and families to valuable mental health resources to ensure long-term wellness and resilience.
