How can a CASSP team meeting help schools prevent truancy?
A CASSP team meeting can allow for open communication and dialogue with the youth, family, and others involved in the youth’s life; the meeting can offer:

  • Explore and identify appropriate resources and supports for the youth/family
  • Engage family members and youth using a strength based approach
  • Identify barriers that may impede the access to treatment services
  • Discuss school truancy concerns and offer recommendations
  • Offer written recommendations to families/referral source (recommendation and information for services, programs, supports/advocacy)
