What is a Progressive Response? A tiered system based on the idea that providing smaller supports early on leads to better outcomes than giving higher level supports after a program participant is not being successful. Tier 3: Special interventions we use to support a small number of youth who show a need that may require collaboration with specialists. Tier 2: The special interventions we use to support a smaller number of youth who show a need. Tier 1: All of the proactive strategies we use every day to support youth in program by creating a safe and supportive environment.
