Program A working partnership between school and community to help students cope with drug, alcohol, depression and suicide issues. Their task is to offer assistance to students currently experiencing problems or those already at risk.
Teams meet weekly to consider referrals and conduct interventions.
Also one can obtain a referral form from a homeroom teacher, counselor, prevention specialist or school office staff. Strategies are then developed to meet the student's needs- such as referral to a school counselor, prevention specialist, psychologist, support group, or to an outside agency specializing in the assessment and treatment of youth at risk. After the intervention is complete, support and review continues on at a needed basis. Emergency situations require that Crisis Intervention Procedures be followed as prescribed in District policies and guidelines. Cooperate with the school team if the intervention and referral for assessment are suggested.
