Crisis Counseling and Intervention Services (CCIS)

Crisis Counseling and Intervention Services is dedicated to restoring and maintaining a safe and healthy learning environment for the 900,000 students and 80,000 employees of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Thanks to the efforts of teachers, principals and other LAUSD staffs, our schools are a safe haven for students. However, there are times when schools may be affected, either directly or indirectly, by a crisis event, community crime, or natural disaster.

The mission of the Crisis Counseling and Intervention Services (CCIS) is to restore and maintain the learning environment of a school after crises and disasters as part of the district’s overall emergency response and crisis management and safety plan. To achieve this mission, CCIS is an active partner with other district services including School Police, Youth Relations, the Office of Emergency Services, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, the Human Relations Commission, and the Division of Student Health and Human Services.
