Update on EmbraceOKC January 2020: Progress and Challenges
EmbraceOKC has not utilized funds yet, with actions being driven by district initiatives. Staff focus has been on reacting to changing demands rather than on Embrace. Training topics include trauma, mental health, and conflict resolution. Tier interventions and PBIS updates highlight individual and group interventions being implemented. Challenges include balancing triage and prevention, and counselors being pulled into other duties. Second Step program implementation spans multiple grade levels. Social workers and counselors are providing assistance based on student needs and referrals.
