SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES
There are many reasons why it may be hard for a child to receive helpful mental health support. TICC's mission is to decrease as many barriers to mental health support as possible, and we especially aim to do this for the children in our communities.
General School-Based Support
To reduce barriers in Fayette County, TICC’s trauma-informed team partners with Fayette County Public Schools to provide school-based services, including on-site individual therapy for eligible students at participating schools.

Support for Students Exposed to Trauma
(SSET)
SSET aims to reduce behavioral challenges and symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety while supporting students’ academic, home, and peer functioning.
​
This trauma-informed, school-based intervention is designed for students in grades 5–12 who exhibit trauma-related behaviors or symptoms. Unlike CBITS, which is clinician-led, SSET can be delivered by trained teachers and nonclinical school counselors.
Research on CBITS and SSET by
The Center for Safe & Resilient Schools and Workplaces
​​
On the Success of CBITS Reducing Symptoms and Dysfunction: "Extensive research shows that students who participate in CBITS have significantly reduced symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, and psychosocial dysfunction" (The Center).
On the Successful Implementation of SSET by Teachers and Nonclinical Staff: "Students in the study showed small reductions in trauma symptoms, with those having high levels of symptoms before taking SSET benefiting the most. Both students and parents reported good-to-high satisfaction with the program. Teachers also reported small improvements in student behavior" (The Center).
