Abstract
Do you sometimes feel like you are working in a crisis center? Are you stressed in your school counseling role? Do you feel like you lack resources and are stuck in a tailspin of anger outburst, DFCS cases, and broken family systems? This fun, interactive session will help you better understand how to collaborate with your social worker, behavior specialist, parents, teachers, administrators and mental health clinicians. Come and explore the “family” of student support.
Description
Participants will learn how to successfully collaborate, utilize and access members of their student support team. We will dissect a complex case scenario and examine the steps that a student support team took to successfully address several issues facing a high-needs student. Through an interactive role-play, participants will learn how to construct an interdisciplinary team that will touch the “whole” child with appropriate interventions and resources.
