- Title
"Just Because" Interventions: Engaging Hard-to-Reach Students.
- Authors
Winter, Travis; Haines-Burnham, James
- Abstract
The following is a description of a relationship-intensive intervention strategy for students with emotional and behavioral problems. This strategy has been used as a supplement to the point and level system to insure that all kids have positive experiences with staff and gain a sense of belonging. Students are selected by staff based on the belief that a particular individual will benefit from the experience, not because they have earned it. The term "just Because Trips" has been adopted to identify this strategy. These trips have been successful and have built groundwork for increased belonging and strengthened relationships.
