Episode 3 features a conversation about collaborating to make school mental health work! Jamie Ganske, Director of Mental Health and Resilience for Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District, discusses how Chippewa Falls has enacted comprehensive school mental health with the support of various community partnerships. Dr. Leah Featherstone brings the provider perspective as the Vice President of Clinical Operations at Professional Services Group, which collaborates with several southeast Wisconsin school districts to provide school mental health services. Both share how to start building school-community partnerships, ideas for engaging stakeholders including families and school staff, and reference the Communities of Practice available to both School Mental Health Navigators and School-Based Clinicians, an initiative of the Coalition for Expanding School-Based Mental Health in Wisconsin.
