We provide effective in-district therapeutic services that support a comprehensive therapeutic school environment. In partnership with educators and administrators, we offer a broad array of cost-effective solutions to help students remain in-district and thrive in the least restrictive environment.
Sage Thrive’s in-district services reduce out-of-district placements, with 97.7% of students who receive counseling being retained in the district. Studies show that students who have access to school-based mental health counseling enjoy greater academic success.1
Partnering with Sage Thrive creates a safe onsite support system and delivers actionable plans to improve mental wellness for staff and students alike. We offer a wide array of therapeutic services, including:
Individual Counseling
Students have access to individual school-based counseling to provide early intervention for challenges with anxiety, school refusal, and emotional issues. With sessions 1-3 times per week and access to other mental health resources, students can find the help they need to succeed without leaving the district.
Family Counseling
With family counseling available before or after school hours, one time per week, parents and guardians can become full partners in the healing process. With in-district counseling services that span home and school, students can make faster progress and improve their natural support systems.
Group Counseling
Group counseling is typically one time per week, or as needed, and offers a therapeutic and safe environment to work through conflicts and strengthen communication skills. Students always have access to their Sage Certified Clinician™ for urgent individual needs. Incorporating group sessions as part of a school-based mental health counseling program can inspire students to help and support one another.
Crisis Counseling
When a crisis happens, making an effective response as soon as possible will provide quicker recovery times and a faster return to learning. As part of our in-district therapeutic services, immediate response teams will arrive quickly and assist in organizing unified and compassionate support for all students. Those at greater risk will be identified, and individual or group counseling is immediately available.
Support and Consultation
Going beyond basic school-based therapeutic services, our expert Sage Certified Clinicians™ will work with your staff to enhance and preserve student wellness with home visits, risk assessments, and full clinical reporting.
In-service Presentations
Sage Thrive training workshops offer insight into the mental health concerns of children and adolescents, as well as inspire staff to engage with students and each other to improve mental wellness and offer effective support.
Classroom Observation
Sage Certified Clinicians™ can perform classroom observations and offer valuable feedback to facilitate student learning, improve the learning environment, identify risk factors, and raise awareness of student mental health.
Suicide Risk Assessments
Our expert Sage Certified Clinicians™ are standing by to provide immediate in-district services, including suicide risk assessments when needed. This early intervention protects student health and reduces the excessive costs of relying on 911 and emergency services in this urgent situation.
