Butler University helps launch IPS counseling initiative [Video]

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Public Schools just announced the development of a new counseling program being offered across Indy.

IPS says Butler University helped support the creation of the program that’s designed to address the social, emotional, behavioral and mental health needs of students.

Butler donated $100,000 to fund the project titled “Rebuilding Stronger: Expanding Comprehensive School Counseling Programming in Indianapolis Public Schools.”

“This initiative aligns with IPS’s broader goals of improving student outcomes, including attendance and overall mental health, and is supported by a dedicated team of district leaders and community partners who are working together to implement these strategies effectively,” said Aaron Munson, director of middle school academies and pathways for the district’s postsecondary readiness department.

Munson also said this initiative is aimed at closing equity and opportunity gaps and providing equitable learning opportunities for all students.
