Tier 1

Universal Services

Universal Interventions focus on providing comprehensive mental and behavioral health support and resources to all students in our partnered schools. This includes offering trauma-informed training to educators.

Targeted Support Services

Offer individual or group support services, led by interns and external partners, for students needing Tier 2 assistance. This involves organizing specialized groups like grief or anxiety groups.

Intensive Support Services

Students showing signs of trauma at home or school will receive Tier 3 clinical therapy. Symptoms may include emotional distress, behavioral changes, coping difficulties, and more.
