Counseling Services, Project for Indian Education, Denver Public Schools

The Denver Public Schools (DPS) established the Project for Indian Education in 1975 as a way to administer federal funds provided to the school district to support education to Indian students though the Johnson-O’Malley Indian Education Act. In the Denver Public Schools over 900 Indian students have been identified. The DPS offers enrollment of Indian students into schools (3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools) that are "Indian Focus Schools," thereby making the provision of services (tutoring, establishment of Indian clubs, counseling, etc.) more effective. Interns are part of the District's Psychological Services team and will have the opportunity to work with the Project for Indian Education staff who offer school-based tutoring services to students, consultation with faculty and staff, and family support services.  Parents, guardians, and other family members are often very involved with the treatment. The Counseling Services are generally provided September through May, although occasionally families may elect to continue services through the summer months.
