Every school faces challenges when it comes to student wellbeing—whether it’s supporting mental health, improving attendance, or responding to crises. If you’ve worked with the Student Wellness Department before, you know we’re here to support your district. But with our rapid growth (our staff has increased by over 200% since 2020!), we want to update you on the scope of our services.
A Team with a Broad Perspective
Our team includes experts from diverse fields —special education, school counseling, social work, mental health, law, behavior support, district administration, and teaching. This breadth of experience allows us to bring a well-rounded, informed approach to every project, meeting, and service we provide.
How We Support Schools
The Student Wellness Department collaborates with district leadership, school teams, and staff to provide coaching, consultation, and professional development across a variety of areas. Some projects require only a few meetings, while others extend over several years.
We offer guidance on a wide range of critical topics, including:
? Mental Health & Staff Wellness – Trauma-informed care, social-emotional learning, and universal screeners.
? Attendance – Support for HB 410 compliance, chronic absenteeism, intervention teams, and mediation.
? Crisis Response & Safety – Suicide prevention, CSTAG threat assessment, crisis prevention training, and verbal de-escalation.
? Behavior & School Climate – PBIS/MTSS integration, social-emotional learning, cultural responsiveness, and state recognition.
? Integrated Health & Prevention Education – School-based health centers, youth-led programs, and QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training.
? Paraprofessional Training – Equipping support staff with essential skills and tools.
? Additional Support – Assistance with foster care, homelessness, system navigation, and family engagement.
Why This Matters
Our mission is simple: To drive systemic change through consulting and coaching, ensuring every student’s health, well-being, and safety.
If you ever wonder, Can the Student Wellness team help with this?—the answer is probably YES! And if not, we can connect you with the right organization to meet your needs.
