The Brief Intervention for School Clinicians (BRISC) is a brief (four session) assessment, engagement, initial intervention, and triage strategy that aims to promote efficiency and structure in school mental health (SMH) service delivery,
while also using treatment elements that are research-based.
Clinicians using the BRISC approach quickly assess the student's needs using a structured process and then engage the youth in problem solving around data-informed treatment goals. A selected number of treatment elements from cognitive-behavioral
therapy and other research-based psychosocial interventions are used to ensure the student's success. Systematic progress monitoring guides clinical decisions within BRISC and selection of a post-BRISC treatment pathway for the student.
This BRISC e-learning is a 2 hour self-paced asynchronous web-based course that provides a basic orientation to the rationale for and treatment elements of BRISC in advance of (1) a live/synchronous session in which BRISC activities are modeled and practiced,
and (2) consultation and fidelity assessment and feedback from BRISC experts.
Development of the Brief
Intervention for School Clinicians (BRISC) and this e-Learning was supported by
the Institute for Education Sciences, U.D. Department of Education, through
Grant R305A160111 as well as the Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer
Center (MHTTC), funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA).

Functional Contextual Thinking and Its Application for School Mental Health
Functional Contextual Thinking (FCT) is a framework for addressing school related internalized and externalized problem behaviors by selecting effective strategies and supports for students. FCT is a user-friendly, brief, and informal
method designed to quickly help school professionals hypothesize the function of the student’s behavior as part of their regular practice. Responding to challenging behaviors based on the scientific understanding of behavior rather
than pre-existing assumptions will lead to better outcomes for students.
Each module of this 3-hour course introduces new content and builds skills in a step-by-step fashion, along with opportunities to practice and helpful resources. Throughout the modules, application examples and case scenarios help attendees practice the use
of the FCT framework. Strategies are provided to minimize and discourage problem behavior and teach replacement skills.
This course was developed by the Northeast and Caribbean Health Technology Transfer Center with funding by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
