Our Participating Schools
SCIP currently partners with 168 schools throughout Nebraska that have implemented the SCIP program.
School SCIP Teams are typically comprised of school representatives such as teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, or social workers.
SCIP Team members attend a 3-day intensive training, preparing them to assist referred students and their families. They are educated to recognize signs that may indicate a more serious issue. Our teams receive ongoing education, resources and assistance from the SCIP Coordinators.
SCIP Teams provide a support system within the school setting by offering assistance as necessary, in a confidential, caring manner.
Our Participating Agencies
Partnering behavioral health agencies generously provide a free screening for youth with suspected or existing behavioral, mental, or substance abuse disorders through a referral from a school's SCIP Team.
Without this service, many family's needs may go unmet. The free SCIP screening provides that critical first step in determining how to best meet a student's behavioral and emotional health needs; setting the foundation for them to successfully reach their full potential.
Our Funders
School Community Intervention & Prevention is a program of Lincoln Medical Education Partnership, a non-profit 501(c)(3) designated organization.
This program remains FREE to students and families because of generous support from the community through donations and grant funding sources.
