First Program

Through referrals from teachers and discussions with families, the clinician meets with students individually or in small groups, ensuring the appropriate level of support. In First Program, the clinician actively engages in classrooms to discuss social-emotional learning, guided by CASEL’s five key areas of development: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness. The school clinician also collaborates with the Learning Support team, families, and teachers to coordinate care plans with outside providers.
