MPSD Mental Health Service Update
We wanted to give you an end of 2019 update on our school based mental health programming at the (SMH) Manitowoc Public School District. Over the last three years, MPSD has continued to partner and grow our school based mental health programs. Currently we have two partnerships, Holy Family Memorial Behavioral Health and Kimberley Welk Family Therapy Center, providing access to mental health services to students in 7 of 10 MPSD schools.
During this first semester, due to the growing access to the school based services, HFMBH has expanded service hours and KWAFTC is currently looking to add a second therapist. When KWAFTC adds the second therapist, we will expand services to the remaining three schools currently not covered. That would mean that as we move into 2020, we could have three community therapists serving all 10 MPSD schools!
