2. Crisis Intervention: Immediate support for students dealing with crises, such as trauma, loss, or behavioral issues.
3. Family Support: Assisting families with resources, referrals, and guidance on parenting and family dynamics.
4. Resource Connection: Connecting students and families with community resources, such as mental health services, food banks, and housing assistance.
