MENTAL HEALTH/BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION

The Big Walnut School District provides Mental Health and Behavior Intervention Support Services that assist school personnel, parents and students in designing, implementing and monitoring behavior plans for students. A team of staff are trained in therapeutic crisis intervention (CPI) and located within each building. Trained staff help students deal with frustration, anger, hurt and problems both personal and academic. Mental health services within Big Walnut Local Schools provide clinicians who assesses and provide behavior strategies to use in the classroom, monitor/refine ongoing behavior interventions,  and provide individual/small group counseling which results in improved student achievement.

SYNTERO
