Student Intervention Team

The Student Intervention Team (SIT) recruits, trains and supervises a yearly cohort of approximately 40-50 graduate-level clinical interns. These emerging mental health professionals provide individual and group school-based mental health support to the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). They are Master’s or post-Master’s level graduate students in Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Professional Clinical Counseling from prestigious universities nationwide. Interns have the opportunity to pursue research endeavors and can fulfill hours to earn a Pupil Personnel Service Credential. Many interns go on to utilize their training as SFUSD employees upon completion of their internship.

Under the direct clinical supervision of SIT staff, interns counsel students experiencing emotional issues that impact learning. Counseling services include individual and group play and talk therapy. Interns serve students in general education and special education throughout the District.

SIT offers clinical group supervision and case consultation along with case management assistance to all Student, Family, and Community Services Department employees and interns. SIT personnel provide weekly clinical supervision to employees seeking licensure as Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) or Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT). SIT staff also provides professional development and staff training related to school-based mental health.
