Truancy Intervention and Prevention Services (TIPS) is a school based and home-based prevention program, which works with students and their families in NW Philadelphia who have truancy concerns.
The TIPS case manager collaborates with the family to address the factors contributing to truancy with the goal of increasing attendance and success in school, aiming to engage families early in the process and avert a referral to Regional Truancy Court. Referrals come directly from the School District of Philadelphia and Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services (DHS).
We also offer services as part of court involvement, referred by DHS. Case Managers make home and school visits to identify and alleviate the factors leading to truancy and link families to community resources that could support their child’s success in school.
