Services

The primary goals of School-Based Therapy Services are to help students be successful behaviorally, socially, emotionally, and academically. The program is an intervention that provides preventative services to youth to help maintain them in their current home/school/community setting.

School-Based Mental Health

The Baldwin-Woodville Area School District has partnered with Western Wisconsin Health and Catherine C. Olson Counseling LLC to increase access to mental health services and also provide youth resilience curriculum and programs.

What does this mean for our students?

Through this program, students will have access to a qualified, licensed clinical mental health provider during the school day. There will be a provider in the buildings on various days throughout the school year. The Western Wisconsin Health providers will be as follows (subject to change): Luke Owens, LMFT at Greenfield Elementary, Nicole Helgeson, MSW, APSW at Viking Middle School; and Lindsey Greer, MSW, APSW, Baldwin Woodville Area High School. Catherine C. Olson MA, LCSW will also be on site at Greenfield Elementary, Viking Middle School and 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 fact that parents will minimize the amount of time off of work and rearrangement of schedules for such appointments.

How does this work?

The Baldwin Woodville Area School District provides space for providers from Western Wisconsin Health and Catherine C. Olson Counseling, LLC to see students. Both providers accept most insurance plans. The initial appointment occurs at the clinic and then the student may be seen at school. Ongoing parent and/or guardian involvement, face to face or via phone consultations are required in the continuation of services.
