Project Title: Kolbe Cathedral Mental Health & Academic Support
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Our program treats the needs of students struggling both academically and emotionally. Our model works under the theme of executive functioning, which are a set of skills housed in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. These skills include task initiation, working memory, emotional regulation, time management, organization, attention, planning, metacognition, perseverance, and mental flexibility. We understand that individuals with learning differences and emotional challenges need support with these specific executive functioning skills. Through direct, explicit instruction, social skills groups, and individual counseling our teachers and counselors work together with a specific caseload of students to help them succeed in school. The objective of the Kolbe Mental Health and Academic Intervention program is to provide therapeutic support and academic intervention for students who would otherwise receive counseling or special education services within a public school setting. 1. Students with academic or social\/emotional needs become identified by administration and staff. 2. These students are assigned to a counselor or special education teacher based on their academic or social\/emotional needs. 3. Academic intervention is implemented through providing these students with a resource class run by a special education teacher, or through a co-taught class co-lead by the special education and regular education teacher. 4 Social\/emotional support is received through either individual or group counseling weekly or bi-weekly. Of the students identified, they will have a greater chance of graduating high school through academic and emotional support. This support will also encourage students to replace maladaptive coping strategies with overall healthier life choices. The success of the students identified in our program will be measured through an increase in each student’s GPA, a decrease of drop out rate, and an increase in the overall feelings of support and connection within the school community.\n<\/p>\n
