A.R.T.S (Artful Response to Tiered Support) is an innovative approach to both prevention and intervention in education. Our staff is eager to provide expertise in trauma and resilience through arts integration. With the increasing demand for mental health services, we all have had to think creatively about how to meet the needs of students, families, and educators, while still meeting deliverables and mandates. Art expression has become a viable solution for students with complex needs, and our hope is to continue to provide educators with resilience-building strategies. Through the A.R.T.S, we provide art expression consultation, classroom integration and coaching, team-building opportunities, workshops, training, and collaborative events.
