| What is Intensive Counseling? | |
| Genesee Valley BOCES provides services to
students from 22 school districts in the counties of Genesee,
Livingston, Steuben and Wyoming. There is also the ability to
cross contract with other districts, providing services to students and
families outside our catchment area.
BOCES Intensive Counseling Services assist students, ages 5-21, who are experiencing school related and/or family problems that disrupt their education.
