More than half of Indiana caregivers (57%+) report difficulty getting their child needed mental health care, and 30% of Indiana youth report persistent sadness. A new $250,000 grant from Anthem is expanding Cartwheel's reach to up to 12,500 K-12 students across Indiana, with a focus on rural access gaps, language barriers, provider shortages, and transportation challenges.
Dr. Myskeshia Mitchell, Director of the Wraparound Center — Community Based Social Emotional Learning at Peoria Public Schools, shares clinical insight on what's driving chronic absenteeism and what actually moves the needle for students struggling to get to school. She’s joined by an education leader from Massachusetts and community partner for a candid look at district results, clinical strategy, and sustainable funding models.
“The impact on students and families has been transformational: We’ve seen a 90% reduction in wait times for students with mental health needs—from months down to weeks, which has ensured students get care before their challenges escalate to crisis. In addition, 96% of students and families who have participated in Cartwheel services report enjoying meeting with their Cartwheel therapist, and 89% report that therapy has been helpful.”
