Abstract:
RENEW is a school-based, interdisciplinary, team-mentoring approach that gives the (accurate) impression that sometimes it takes a school (and a well-coordinated effort) to graduate a student. This paper describes the RENEW intervention and describes its implementation in various contexts and settings in New Hampshire.Keywords: Rehabilitation, Empowerment, Natural Supports, Education, Work, social isolation, co-occurring disorders, zero tolerance policies, secondary transition, self-determination, futures planning
