Consultation
At The Blue Couch, we provide guidance to organizations, early childhood providers, schools, and families with the goal of enhancing the quality of mental health. Our consultation can be delivered in a lot of forms.
Consultation
School-Based Consultation: Now more than ever, schools are charged with meeting the diverse and unique needs of students and their families. Teachers, staff, and administration would benefit from assistance to learn new strategies for addressing challenges to reduce or eliminate the need for suspension or expulsion, and to enhance academic and employee performance.
Our school-based consultation is an evidence-informed, developmentally-relevant, multi-level intervention where our mental health team partners with people who care for children in your school to promote healthy-social-emotional development. Our relationship-based approach to working with professionals is driven by data and delivered in natural settings, enhancing accountability and the likelihood that effective strategies are practiced and maintained.
We work together to build the capacity of your school so you can prevent and address challenging behaviors and foster a richer social-emotional environment. We do this by working alongside school professionals in their daily settings, sharing strategies, modeling evidence-based interventions, facilitating referrals, and cultivating a deeper understanding of the factors that shape children's social-emotional development. Our team takes a strengths-based approach to understanding and conceptualizing children's behavior. Additionally, we intervene at multiple levels (classroom, family, school, community), enhancing the important contextual and cultural factors impacting children's behaviors.
