Trend and Changes
BEAR RIVER MENTAL HEALTH- is involved with
Woodruff as part of funding received to provide
outreach services in school. SERVICES Assessment
provided to family as well as recommendation for
services which may include Wrap-around
services, individual, group, and/or family
therapy, skills development, and case management
or referral to outside services for families
with sufficient resources. Progress is measured
using the Youth Outcome Questionnaire. There
have been 31 referrals this year. 14 qualified
for wraparound services and were referred to
BRMH. 12 students have been involved in group
services for aggression. 3 students have been
referred to outside community agency for therapy
based upon family resources. The Youth
Outcome Questionnaire is a tool used to measure
client distress and functioning. Scores
indicate overall symptom distress and appropriate
level of care. Indicators/colors are also
provided in regards to progress direction. The
following charts have scores for a male student
age 7 in the 2nd grade. He was seen
individually 7 times. He made progress with an

Most Recent Data

• We sat down as a school UBI team at the end of
  last year, and had a total of 157 aggressions for
  06-07. We knew that the most important thing we
  wanted to focus on was decreasing this number in
  the upcoming year.
• There were several things put into place to be
  proactive in keeping our goal of 90 aggressions
  or less for the 07-08 school year. We also at
  the time of setting a goal did not take into
  account how different our population would look
  this year.
• Even with the change, we were still able as a
  school to reach our goal! It took everyone
  working together to make it happen. Positive
  rewards for students with no aggressions, and
  consistent consequences for those who were
  aggressive.
• We only have about a month and a half left and
  are at 67 total aggressions!!
• See our data indicators graph for exact numbers.

General Discussion

• We have seen great benefits from having the
  health Department and Bear River Mental Health
  Dept. involved in helping make extra contact with
  specific children who are aggressive or bullying
  others. Having someone actually give the
  students scenarios in which choices would have to
  made and watch the students interact in
  situations where they have struggled in the past
  made a great impact.
• School wide we are still on track to meet our
  goal of keeping under a certain number of
  aggressions.
• One thing we didnt take into account when
  setting our goal of decreasing aggressions from
  last years numbers was our changing population.
  We saw significant growth and also the addition
  of a full day kindergarten that brought many
  students into one class, many of them lacking the
  skills to make good choices when they become
  angry.
