Welcome to CICS x CIH
Services Offered
Student + Family Support: Students and families will have direct access to physical health, mental health, and wellness resources through a dual model of in-person services and Telehealth (virtual) support. This includes counseling and wellness check-ins designed to reduce barriers to care, ensuring that families can access high-quality support whether on campus or from home.
Project Thrive Programming: Through life skills development, personal growth opportunities, and youth empowerment activities, Project Thrive will be delivered in both in-person group sessions and virtual programming. This blended approach allows students to build confidence, resilience, and community connections in flexible ways that fit their schedules and needs, while also keeping families engaged in the process.
Staff Wellness: Training, resources, and on-site staff chair massages are included as part of this agreement. By intentionally incorporating chair massage services, CICS staff receive direct stress relief and physical support, which complements professional development and resource-sharing. Together, these offerings provide holistic support to strengthen the entire school community.
Healing-Informed Care: Services are designed to meet students where they are, addressing trauma, resilience, and growth through a healing-centered lens. Care will be offered in in-person sessions on campus, as well as through Telehealth (virtual) support to ensure accessibility and continuity of care. This dual model allows students to receive immediate, personalized attention in safe spaces while also maintaining flexible access to ongoing therapeutic and restorative practices.
