TIERS OF MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Tier One
Each school's Counseling Department provides universal services through SEL programs and counselor services.
Tier Two
Intervention services may be provided by a district Mental Health Specialist (middle school), school guidance counselor, or Student Assistance Counselors to identified students through RTI. This may involve group/individual counseling.
Tier Three
Student participation in this supportive tier is guided by an IEP, 504, or I&RS plan. The plan reflects goals in counseling which are provided by school psychologists in a Learning Strategies setting at the high school only. This is considered a general education setting.
Tier Four
This highly supportive tier includes a self-contained Behavioral Disabilities program which is IEP Driven.
Movement through each of the tiers occurs through I&RS, 504 , and/or Child Study Team meetings. School professionals maintain a documentation of interventions, student response to interventions, and team meetings notes.
