Intervention services

While we know school should be the focus of a child’s life, sometimes other events impact a student’s ability to achieve. To better support the students at Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences during such times, intervention services are available through our intervention specialist, Ms. Moreno.

We serve students who are experiencing difficulties either on or off the school campus. Our services include:

• Individual and group counseling
• Crisis intervention
• Peer mediation
• Nurture groups
• Restorative circles
• Social skills instruction
• Life skills instruction
• Leadership development
• Consultation referrals to community resources
• Referrals to community resources
• Limited case management and/or home visits
• Transitional support for returning students
• Staff development
• Student retreats
• Participation on various campus-based teams

Our staff includes professionals with training and experience in the areas of social work, marriage and family therapy, counseling, prevention and chemical dependency. All are licensed and/or certified in their areas of expertise. Each works closely with school personnel as an important member of each campus’ team.

Students can be referred for services by their teacher, counselor, parent, friend or self. All services are provided at no cost to the student and on their campus. Measures are taken to ensure client confidentiality. Parents are engaged in services as necessary or as requested by the student.
