Listen to Garnet Valley School District leaders in a 30-minute conversation on strengthening school-based mental health supports — and what it takes to meet growing student needs with limited community resources.
Previously recorded, March 28th
Pennsylvania school leaders joined this session to learn more about Cartwheel’s mental health program, how to activate these mental health services in their district, and hear from Downingtown Area School District.
"Cartwheel has been an invaluable support for our students and our counselors, allowing our district to serve as a crucial bridge to mental health care for our students and families."
—Vincent Hoover, Assistant Superintendent, Lewisburg Area School District
"Cartwheel has been easy to work with and a cost savings for our district. They communicate very nicely with our district and are currently meeting our mental health needs."
—Duane Snayberger, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Mifflinburg Area School District
"Cartwheel is filling a void for families who could not otherwise obtain needed mental health services and also for schools who are seeking support for their students. Additionally, billing insurance is a sustainable model for our schools in times when continued school mental health funding is unknown."
—Julie Petrin, Director of Behavioral Health Support Services, Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit
“We have found the referral process to be easy and smooth. The turnaround time from submission to family contact is nothing short of impressive. The follow up email to school staff when a family has not responded to the initial outreach has been a great help in allowing us to assist with the coordination of services.”
—Shannon Flanagan, LSW District Social Worker, Tyrone Area School District
For the fifth year in a row, the biggest challenges faced by school leaders continue to be student financial budget pressure, student mental health needs, and school facilities issues. School leaders reported 4 out of 10 students (38.5%) have some degree of mental health need.
“The needs are great and the resources are minimal." -Survey respondent
