WS Education Foundation Receives Grant For Wellness Center

The White Salmon Valley Education Foundation will receive $100,000 in funding for the White Salmon Valley School District’s Health and Wellness Center, to be utilized in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years.   The funding is provided by the Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health, a Vancouver-based nonprofit organization.  The school district and foundation partnered with NorthShore Medical Group to launch a program this school year to provide mental health and substance use services directly to students, thanks to an initial $75,000 grant from the non-profit.  So far this school year, the program has provided 46 students with regular, one-on-one therapy sessions at school with mental health professionals employed by NorthShore.  The $100,000 in new funding will help continue to fund the district’s health and wellness coordinator, and will also launch new programs such as family support groups and mental health training for teachers.
