Community Schools directly align with San Mateo County’s 2025 shared vision <br />around building a healthy, prosperous, and collaborative community. <br />A. General Description of Services <br />1. Building family capacity in the school system, family stability, and at home learning. <br />a.Community School Coordinators work to support our students to achieve wellness in all <br />domains of their development as individuals: social, emotional, physical, and intellectual <br />through collaboration and integration: families, partner agencies, and school teams <br />coming together to fulfill the students’ needs and support their growth. <br />2. Stronger alignment for impact across levels of intervention. <br />a.Integrate the roles of the mental health counselors, community school coordinators, multi- <br />Tiered Systems of Support Coordinators (MTSS) to screen, align and provide early <br />interventions across Tier 1, Tier 2, & Tier 3 supports. <br />b.The Mental Health Counseling Program at Redwood City School District consists of 13 <br />Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Social Workers and 1 District Lead Mental <br />Health Counselor. The goal of the program is to provide Tier I, II, and III supports to <br />students on campus who are in need of early intervention and mental health services so <br />that in collaboration with other contracted mental health providers on site, all students <br />who could benefit from mental health interventions have the ability to do so. <br />3.
