The Millburn Public School District has partnered with Thrive to provide supportive counseling services to students. Thrive in-district services have the capacity to serve both special education and general education students. The goal of the program is to fill the gap in service between the existing in-school support and an out-of-district placement by providing identified students with counseling to address emotional difficulties that are affecting their academic and social functioning. The Thrive clinicians work with identified students who have issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, social anxiety, and various other social and/or emotional challenges.
The Thrive Clinicians work with school personnel (guidance counselors, Child Study Team members, teachers, administrators, etc) to idenfity elligible students. The Thrive Clinicians then provide individual counseling as well as additional services tailored to the needs of students and families. Additional services include:
Parent Support (psychoeducation, planning, etc)
Family Counseling
Group Counseling
Referrals (outside counselors, psychiatrists, etc)
The Thrive Clinicians also work with the district to provide:
Consultation and coordination with school personnel
Professional development presentations for staff
Mental health information and resources
