| Abstract: | It is common for school support service (SSS) personnel to work in silos and not collaboratively. Logistics and availability of space continue to pose a challenge for interdisciplinary work. We offer the conceptual CCAMS model that proposes centralizing these support services (i.e., school counselor, social worker, psychologist) in one physical location to increase collaboration, student access, and information-sharing. The aim of this conceptual model is to create the foundation for the CCAMS department led by the director of school counseling. Benefits of the CCAMS department for practitioners and stakeholders are discussed. We offer suggestions for implementation and present limitations and future directions for this conceptual model. |
