Master's level therapists are housed within the school building and are available to provide mental health assessment and intervention to students and their families. The majority of referrals to the program come from school staff, but referrals may also come from other sources such as caregivers and other agencies.

Chemical Dependency: Provides a comprehensive approach to the treatment of substance abuse. A range of evidenced-based treatment services is offered based upon an individual assessment of strengths and needs. Types and intensity of services can be tailored to meet individual needs and circumstances.
Functional Family Therapy (FFT): FFT focuses on early intervention with youth who are in the juvenile justice system or who are at-risk for entering that system. The goal of FFT is to prevent youth from moving further into the system. The program serves the families of youth ages 11-18 who have risk factors such as delinquency, family conflict, poor school performance, running away, substance abuse and violence. Treatment usually lasts 10-20 sessions over a three-month period. This is a highly effective evidenced-based family therapy model that is proven to reduce recidivism. The FFT program has been made possible by grant funding through Sedgwick County and the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority. Referrals for the program are accepted from Juvenile Probation, Juvenile Diversion, Juvenile Field Services, Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center and detention advocacy services.
