School-Based Mental Health
The Baldwin-Woodville Area School District is pleased to announce a wonderful new opportunity for our students. Starting this year, we partnering with Western Wisconsin Health-Behavioral Health Services, to provide school-based mental heath services. This collaboration will give both organizations that opportunity to support our community health improvement goal to increase access to mental heath services, and also provide future youth resilience curriculum and programs.
What does this mean for our students?
Through this program, student will have access to a qualified, licensed clinical mental health provider during the school day. There will be a provider at each building on Wednesdays during the school year starting on starting September 27, 2017. The Western Wisconsin Health providers will be as follows (subject to change): Dr. Christopher Babbitt, Clinical Psychologist at Greenfield Elementary; Donna Elenkiwich, Licensed Professional Counselor/Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor at Viking Middle School; and Bev Green, Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Greenfield Elementary and the Baldwin-Woodville Area High School. This is a great opportunity for students to have access to services during the school day. It also addresses the need for parents to re-arrange work schedules or miss work.
How does this work?
The Baldwin-Woodville Area School District provides a space for the services to be provided by Western Wisconsin Health. If you are interested in your child receiving services, you can contact the school counselors(s) at each building to obtain a referral form.
