Make A Referral
The Center for Resilience provides services to for children who are challenged by significant emotional health problems that interfere with learning and functioning in a traditional school setting.
Children best served by CfR are those who:
Have not experienced success in response to the appropriate RTI or MTSS process; and
Qualify for special education services for behavioral reasons (typically categorized as Emotional Disturbance or Other Health Impairment); and
Are a significant disruption to the school environment despite a well-implemented intervention plan; and/or
Are experiencing a major mental illness or crisis (as diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional) that impairs learning in a traditional setting (e.g., severe depression, psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
CfR is an ideal placement option for children who have not consistently and meaningfully participated in learning despite access to maximum supports available within the school building. Children with intellectual disabilities will be considered on a case-by-case basis, dependent on the child’s ability to understand and participate in therapeutic interventions. Our ongoing referral process is a collaborative effort involving all appropriate stakeholders. The steps in the process are as follows:
Note: If the parent or guardian is unable to participate in the psychiatric evaluation and/or consent for medical treatment, placement at CfR cannot be considered.
