The Brief Intervention for School Clinicians (BRISC) is a brief (four session) assessment, engagement, initial intervention, and triage strategy that aims to promote efficiency and structure in school mental health (SMH) service delivery, while also using treatment elements that are research-based. 

Clinicians using the BRISC approach quickly assess the student's needs using a structured process and then engage the youth in problem solving around data-informed treatment goals. A selected number of treatment elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy and other research-based psychosocial interventions are used to ensure the student's success. Systematic progress monitoring guides clinical decisions within BRISC and selection of a post-BRISC treatment pathway for the student.

This BRISC e-learning is a 2 hour self-paced asynchronous web-based course that provides a basic orientation to the rationale for and treatment elements of BRISC in advance of (1) a live/synchronous session in which BRISC activities are modeled and practiced, and (2) consultation and fidelity assessment and feedback from BRISC experts.

Development of the Brief Intervention for School Clinicians (BRISC) and this e-Learning was supported by the Institute for Education Sciences, U.D. Department of Education, through Grant R305A160111 as well as the Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
