Caught Doing Good

Appreciation to the CRLS-BRYT (Bridge for Resilient Youth in Transition) team, Ashley Sitkin and Shanel Antunes. In this intensive Tier 3 general education program, this team provides clinical support, academic coordination, family support, and care coordination services to CRLS students who are transitioning back to school after missing extensive amounts of learning due to serious mental health, medical, and/or life transition challenges. They strive to coordinate resources within CRLS and the wider community, and partner effectively with families, to help each participating student make the most efficient transition possible and finish the school year on track for graduation.
