Counseling

Selected students of the program go through intake and interviewing by our clinical staff prior to services. During interviewing, we meet with each referred child and their family to assess the social-emotional and external problems affecting the child’s education. Once these problems have been identified, we develop a personalized service plan with the involvement of the parents and the school. The service plan identifies goals the I’RAISE clinician assigned to the child will focus on to support the child during the school day.  

Art Therapy

Children receiving counseling services will also participate in the corresponding art therapy service pre-determined by the school’s principal. Art Instructors work closely with the clinical team to build lessons on self-expression, self-esteem, self-awareness and other issues relevant to the lives of youth within the program manifested through creative projects. Schools can choose one art service from multiple options such as:

​

• Dance and Movement

• Music

• Visual Art

• Drama (new)

• Creative Writing (new)
