MI SCHOOL THERAPIST

Treatment (Tier 3) – Tertiary Program

Individual students (< 10%)

​

A subset of students have significant challenges that do not respond to the mental health interventions and supports in Tier 1 or Tier 2. Tier 3 gives these students individualized psychotherapy treatment from a school-based clinician. One-to-one counseling sessions give the students the opportunity to confidentially talk through problems or situations with a trained professional. It allows them to express thoughts and emotions, understand adaptive and maladaptive behavior patterns, learn problem-solving and conflict resolution and develop the tools needed to cope with a variety of challenges more appropriately.
