Multi-tiered System of Support

-
School Based Therapy
GISD School Based Therapists support the district and Counseling Services Mission and Vision by:
Promoting healthy social emotional functioning within the Georgetown ISD community through school-based therapy, education, and collaboration.
Once students have been identified by the school-based therapy team using the Multi-tiered Systems of Support, the therapist, student, and parent will co-create proactive counseling goals and/or make use of community resources for further support.
GISD School-Based Therapists recognize that to work toward this goal, we must:
- Strive to provide a safe and inclusive environment.
- Work to remove stigma and barriers to obtaining mental health support for students.
- Determine and refer for community resources as needed.

Understanding every learner’s strengths and unique interests and creating and supporting personalized academic plans with the learner to reach their academic and post-secondary goals.
Providing every learner with a calming presence and nurturing environment where personal social skills can be taught, learners are encouraged, and self-awareness is strengthened.
GISD counselors recognize that to work toward this goal, we must:
- Foster and model healthy relationships
