The department of Behavioral Health and Student Wellness seeks to provide effective, coordinated, and collaborative support for the growing behavior and mental health needs of students and staff district wide. This department will support district-based intervention personnel and programs (PBIS, Person-Centered Planning, Trauma-Informed Care, Mental Health, Counselors, Social Workers, Behavior Analysts, and Coaches) as well as coordination with outside providers for additional behavioral health needs (Clinical Counseling, ABA Services, Medicaid services). These are critical prevention and intervention components of WFPS' Multi-Tiered System of support (MTSS) for behavioral health. By working together, this department and its community partners can leverage best practices and provide proactive and responsive support across the district.
