Positive Alternatives for Student Support
We believe in cultivating the well-being of students who would otherwise be traditionally suspended by offering a therapeutic environment and utilizing early intervention strategies. Many of these students are likely to be struggling with mental health and/or substance use disorders, and they can be best supported through behavioral interventions, individualized academic support, and connections to outside resources.
