School Counselors are members and leaders of the SCIP (School Community Intervention and Prevention) Team. The SCIP process applies a multi-layered approach to at-risk behaviors in youth.  A student can be referred to the SCIP Team by a teacher, parent, student or community member.  Upon a student's referral to SCIP, the team assesses the need for further action, coordinating an intervention with the student and/or their parent/guardian when necessary.  A plan is developed to address the concerns and increase the student's opportunity to succeed in school.  This plan may include a referral to an in-school resource or to our partnering behavioral health agency, Blue Valley Behavioral Health, who will provide a screening for the student at no cost to the family.  The SCIP Team continues to provide ongoing support for the student within the school environment.  With parental consent, information from the agency screening can be shared with the SCIP Team, providing them with valuable information that will allow them to better assist the student and put the appropriate support systems in place.
