Abstract

As students are transitioned from traditional high schools to alternative education settings many resources are no longer readily available to them. This research is designed around the mental health needs of students at an alternative education program that does not have a full time social worker present. The needs of the students are assessed in an effort to learn how to best serve them at such a critical and vulnerable point in their education.
