    Episode 15: Creative Cooperation - Parents and Schools Together

    As another school year comes to a close, we are taking time to reflect and acknowledge that "right service, right time" isn't always possible in school mental health.  Our guest today is Rachel Zwicky, parent advocate and lived experience representative on the Coalition Board.  Rachel lives in rural northern Wisconsin and joins Kathy to discuss how she has navigated working with her children's school to support their mental health when traditional resources aren't immediately available.

    Episode 13: Fill the Gaps with a Resource Map!

    Today we are joined by Libby Strunz, School Mental Health Consultant with WI Department of Public Instruction, to discuss the final component of the Wisconsin School Mental Health Framework: Needs Assessment and Resource Mapping.  Kathy Markeland, Coalition Board member and Executive Director of WI Assn of Family & Children's Agencies inquires about why a Resource Map is a vital part of comprehensive school mental health and how school staff can create one by leveraging the knowledge of students, family and community partners.  The process of creating (and updating) a resource map can feel overwhelming at first, but in the long-term it can help make the right resources available to students at the right time.  Finally, Libby guides us to consider social influencers of mental health to ensure resource maps and school mental health services remain equity-centered and trauma-informed.

    Episode 10: Beyond Words - Understanding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as Keys to Relationship and Belonging

    Comprehensive school-based mental health initiatives seek to advance mental well-being throughout the school community. At the core of this work are relationships and building a sense of belonging for all students. In this episode, Allyson Forseth, Behavioral Health Initiatives Manager with the WI Association of Family and Children's Agencies is joined by Dr. Armando Hernández, a Licensed Psychologist and Equity-Centered Leader with 20 years of experience specializing in culturally responsive practice, behavioral health consultation, and systems change. Their conversation explores concrete initiatives to grow diversity (mindset), equity (outcomes), and inclusion (relationship) within our school communities, as well as how these strategies serve as a foundation for student success and community connectedness. Acknowledging that this is a challenging and sometimes divisive topic, Dr. Hernández brings a perspective grounded in his cross-system work and invites us to center on curiosity, respect, and relationship while boldly exploring resistance within ourselves and our systems.
