"Cartwheel has bilingual culturally responsive therapists which is vitally important, particularly for Chelsea, where 90-plus percent of the district is Latinx."
—Aaron Jennings, Equity, Diversity, and Excellence Officer, Chelsea Public Schools
"The unique niche is providing short-term care and reducing response rate. Of students referred, all started teletherapy within the first week of referral. In the world of mental health, that is very rapid."
—Peter Light, Superintendent, Acton-Boxborough Public Schools
"I'll say [our] number one [issue] would be school avoidance. And that's where I thinkCartwheel can really be so beneficial because that's not something that ourschool-based counselors are really addressing."
—Karri Isidoro, Psychologist, Danvers Public Schools
"Cartwheel has been a game changer for our staff and students. St. Mary's is a better place because of Cartwheel."
—Dr. John F. Doulan, Executive Director, St. Mary's School, Massachusetts
"We were really looking for a partner that could help support some short-term work so that we didn't get to that crisis level, and doing some kind of early intervention and proactive work with us."
—Kim Huffer, Director of Social Emotional Learning, Cambridge Public Schools
