The Student and Family Assistance Center provides early, short-term intervention services to students who exhibit high-risk behaviors.  Services include student/family assessments, support group, and semi-annual  skills development workshops for students and their parents (life skills, decision-making, anger management, and substance abuse prevention), and special events such as a Summer Youth Leadership Conference.

Program Eligibility:  To be eligible for service, students must be referred by the School Attendance Review Board, the Student Behavior and Placement Office, or the Mobile Intervention Training Team.  The MITT Team receives referrals from Middle School principals who request early intervention before students have been referred to SARB or Behavior Hearings.  Students appropriate to receive Student and Family Assistance Center services include: those with poor school behavior and performance, high suspension rate, delinquent behavior and/or signs of substance abuse; those living in families with poor parental supervision and control; or where there is a documented family history of domestic violence, child abuse, neglect or other trauma.

Who Should Refer:  Student Attendance and Review Board, Student Behavior and Placement Office and School Principals using the MITT process.
