TY&FS helping students in LTUSD with behavioral issues

Tahoe Youth & Family Services was awarded a subcontract with El Dorado County for the Primary Intervention Program at Tahoe Valley, Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet and Sierra House elementary schools.

The goal of the program is to help kindergarten through third-grade students with mild aggression, withdrawal, learning difficulties, or who may be at-risk for developing emotional problems to enhance their social and emotional development.

The PIP program is funded through the California Mental Health Services Act and supports 12 to 15 weeks each semester for individualized, non-directive play therapy sessions with the PIP worker and the child.
