School Outreach Program

The School Outreach Program is a short term intervention program designed to help children and families by breaking barriers that hinder a child’s overall potential and academic success. The goal of the program is to provide families and children with support and prevention services that can reduce the need for more formal agency intervention.

Signs that a Child Should Be Referred to School Outreach

• Students experiencing poor social and academic success due to their behavioral difficulties.

• Children with truancy issues.

• Children who display anger, aggression, and noncompliance.

• Children who display withdrawn behaviors, sadness, poor social skills, and poor family dynamics.
