Counseling and Mental Health
Pasco School District recognizes the important role schools play in promoting the emotional wellness of children.
Comprehensive School Counseling Program
Pasco School District school counselors provide universal learning supports for all students and are often positioned to be the first school-employed professionals to recognize and address students’ social and emotional, career, and academic needs. School counselors function as advocates, collaborators, and leaders and use the Pasco School District Comprehensive School Counseling Framework to implement school counseling programs in alignment with the Pasco School District's mission, vision, Outrageous Outcomes, and individual school improvement plans.
Crisis Intervention Team
Pasco School District has a crisis intervention team made up of school counselors, nurses, and social workers. This team is available to provide assistance to schools during an event-based crisis.
The crisis intervention team provides support for students using a debriefing model from the Crisis Management Institute. They provide staff consultation and support when needed. The crisis team works closely with the school team to ensure the supports provided meet the needs of those within the the school community.
