High School Friends

Project BEAMS (Behavioral, Emotional, and Mental Supports in Schools) is a grant-funded project that establishes a university-school partnership that will increase the number of school psychologists and expand the mental health programming at Southwest Independent School District (SWISD). Project goals will be met via intensive assistantships in which UTSA school psychology graduate students implement a two-year, multi-tiered system of supports model of mental health and social-emotional programming.
