What is Intervention and Referral Services Team

Chapter 9
Counseling Strategies for Children and Families Impacted by Incarceration
An intervention and referral services team is a general education, student progress monitoring team. Typically, the team consists of a school counselor, a school nurse, and at least one teacher. The team can create short-term interventions for students to assist them when they are having a hard time. When those services are not enough, students can be referred for a higher level of services, such as a 504 plan or child study team evaluation.

Abstract
This chapter describes the academic, behavioral, and mental health impact incarceration has on youth. It describes ways school counselors, school psychologists, and teachers can offer support for students during and post incarceration, as well as ways school personnel can support students with incarcerated parents. Implications for schools to intervene on behalf of the student impacted by incarceration and areas for future research are offered. Understanding educationally based supports available to children who are incarcerated or who have incarcerated parents can enhance outcomes for those youth. Counselors working with these youth in mental health settings can share knowledge of school-based supports with the families of affected youth. Counselors can also consult with school personnel to ensure affected youth are receiving appropriate services.
