• 2 trained caring staff members use the CSI structured curriculum to facilitate groups in a safe, positive environment
• CSI groups have 6-8 students who meet for 45 minutes per week for 8 week
• CSI groups are confidential

CSI groups support students facing various challenges. Students make good decisions when they search for the tools that will help them grow as individuals— tools that will assist them in accomplishing their goals and reaching their dreams.

CSI is not considered counseling or therapy. CSI is support for ALL students. Students and teachers work collaboratively to ensure students do not fall behind academically in their class.
