Program Mission
The program provides integrated health on school campuses. Our mental health program, Be Well, provides access to youth in early intervention behavioral health services as well as navigation and education. Our navigators walk the family through the process and eliminate barriers by providing services on their child's campus. Youth also don't have to miss school as often to attend appointments since they are seen during the school day in a non-tested subject.
Current and Total Enrollment
Over 2000 children have received services since the start of the program on 2017. Currently the program has over a 1000 children enrolled in three different school districts, Socorro ISD, Clint ISD, and Canutillo ISD.
Benefits
Schools benefit due to the services being housed inside the campus and being easily accessible to their school community. Throughout the years the program has seen lower absenteeism, higher academic performance, higher parental involvement, reduction of stigma, and overall healthier youth.
