The Therapeutic Inclusion Program

Description:

Inclusion is an imperative, but when it comes to students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, our schools are missing the mark. Efforts to include this population routinely fail, leading to the continued reliance on segregated settings. Why? School counseling and mainstream mental health care have deeply diverged. Mainstream mental health care practitioners and school counselors can hardly recognize each other's work. This gap needs attention if we are to expand schools' capacity to support the range of students social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
