Life today can feel overwhelming & hopeless. Students are impacted by a number of factors beyond their control: unresolved trauma, relational issues, emotional outbursts, lack of affordable housing/food/work, mental health needs...the list goes on & on. All of these factors can negatively impact a student's ability to achieve their academic best, but they don't have to. Assistance to address these factors & many others are available to Fort Worth ISD students.
The department of Intervention Services employs a collection of licensed mental health professionals that are readily available to assist students in a variety of ways. Our mission is to equip students with healthy coping strategies & resources, empowering them to maintain a healthy level of functioning in life & to improve performance in the classroom.
