Gorge ESD Receives Mental Health Grant From Google

The Columbia Gorge Education Service District has received a $100,000 grant from Google to support creating and increasing school-based mental health services for students in Wasco County.  With the grant funds from Google and additional private and public funding sources, the Columbia Gorge ESD plans to expand the role of the Whole Child Nursing Administrator to connect with outside providers to continue to expand telehealth services for students.  It will also offer a mobile health clinic in partnership with One Community Health that will visit schools in Wasco and Hood River Counties with licensed clinicians providing physical and mental health care to students   A third goal is to build an on-site school-based health center at The Dalles High School.  The ESD says surveys they have conducted found students and parents identified mental health services as the top health concern with cost, transportation, and services being too far away as the largest barriers.
