Tier 2: Before Crisis

Early intervention as prevention.

Many students begin showing signs of emotional or behavioral distress long before needs escalate into crisis. Tier 2 intervention pathways provide targeted, school-based support during the earliest stages of concern — when intervention can be most effective.

This film explores how structured Tier 2 systems help schools move beyond reactive care through check-ins, mentorship, skill-building, emotional regulation support, and ongoing progress monitoring. The goal is not simply to respond to crisis, but to prevent escalation before it occurs.
