Episode 15: Creative Cooperation - Parents and Schools Together

As another school year comes to a close, we are taking time to reflect and acknowledge that “right service, right time” isn’t always possible in school mental health.  Our guest today is Rachel Zwicky, parent advocate and lived experience representative on the Coalition Board.  Rachel lives in rural northern Wisconsin and joins Kathy to discuss how she has navigated working with her children’s school to support their mental health when traditional resources aren’t immediately available.

Episode 13: Fill the Gaps with a Resource Map!

Today we are joined by Libby Strunz, School Mental Health Consultant with WI Department of Public Instruction, to discuss the final component of the Wisconsin School Mental Health Framework: Needs Assessment and Resource Mapping.  Kathy Markeland, Coalition Board member and Executive Director of WI Assn of Family & Children’s Agencies inquires about why a Resource Map is a vital part of comprehensive school mental health and how school staff can create one by leveraging the knowledge of students, family and community partners.  The process of creating (and updating) a resource map can feel overwhelming at first, but in the long-term it can help make the right resources available to students at the right time.  Finally, Libby guides us to consider social influencers of mental health to ensure resource maps and school mental health services remain equity-centered and trauma-informed.
