Individual Student Planning
Ongoing activities are designed to help students establish personal goals and develop future plans as they relate to academic development, career development, social emotional development, college selection and standardized testing.
Responsive Services :
Responsive services are interventions to resolve immediate conflicts, respond to crisis events, and intervene in school specific situations that disrupt learning.
Consultation - consult with parents, teachers and community based mental health professions to support and advocate for students.
Individual/ Small Group Counseling - counsel students with identified needs and to provide immediate, short term interventions.
Preventative Interventions - ongoing interventions that reduce the need for crisis management. Intervention goals include the development of attitude, knowledge and skills which build student self-worth, resiliency, optimism and future orientation.
