Through the development and implementation of a trauma-sensitive comprehensive school counseling program, school counselors can be essential in meeting the mental health needs of youth in foster care. The multitiered systems of support (MTSS) framework is one potential strategy in achieving this goal. We offer recommendations on how school counselors might deliver a trauma-informed care approach utilizing the MTSS framework to support the mental health needs of youth in foster care who have experienced trauma.
