In addition to intense instruction in social and emotional learning and academics, students enrolled in the Genesis School receive mental health support services from Child Focus, Inc.  Mental health services include Therapy and CPST.  Services are provided in a small group and/or individual setting, based on student need.  All mental health supports focus on helping students achieve academic success.
