St. Brendan School is committed to the Multi-Tier Systems of Support (MTSS) and has retained Counseling Partners of Los Angeles (CPLA). School counselors are the primary resource for administrators, teachers, and parents about mental health awareness and trauma-informed practices.
CPLA focuses on providing direct counseling support and improving students' support networks by partnering with teachers, students, and administrators. Students will be referred when teachers and parents are concerned about a student's emotional well-being, behavior, attitude, and/or motivation. Students are also encouraged to self-refer. CPLA's service philosophy is to support students at school, including working with family members and the school community to have the greatest impact.
