The vision of the Contra Costa County Wellness in Schools Program (WISP) is for all students in the County to access needed behavioral health services and supports in a timely manner.
It is anticipated that Wellness In Schools Program Liaisons will:
- Establish new partnerships with mental health service providers
- Improve or develop systems to create sustainable best practices and protocols
- Share best practices for school-based mental health, through a “Community of Practice”
- Improve timely access to, and reduce barriers to accessing, needed services
- Increase linkages to mental health services for districts
- Increase training on mental health topics to educators, administrators, parents/families, and students, to improve awareness and understanding of mental health topics, and knowledge of how to navigate services
- Reduction in negative student outcomes (e.g., chronic sadness, thoughts of suicide, suicide rates, chronic absenteeism, school failure, etc).
