WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOLMental Health Team“Meeting the mental health needs of Wilson’s student scholars”
What is the mental health team? The mental health team is composed
of Woodrow Wilson High School Staff members who collaborate to provide mental health services when a student scholar exhibits emotional, behavioral, or academic concerns, and/or needs assistance with finding appropriate resources in the community.
The Mental Health Team consists of an educational psychologist, two school-based psychologists , a clinical psychologist, three clinical social workers, a school nurse and a school counselor, who work collaboratively with the Deans of Students , teachers, school counselors and administrators to provide support and interventions to assist the student scholar to be productive and successful at Woodrow Wilson.
Each team member manages his or her own individual caseload. The team meets to discuss particular scholars who need crisis assistance, or require additional services or intervention / strategies to help address their social and emotional concerns. The team members develop and implement strategies to assist student scholars in being receptive and available to academic instruction at Woodrow Wilson High School

Note on Confidentiality Information that a student scholar brings to members of the
team is kept confidential, with the exception of certain conditions. For example, when a student scholar reports he or she is experiencing suicidal and/ or homicidal thoughts, sexual or physical abuse , or engaging in self-destructive/ life threatening behavior, the mental health team member takes appropriate steps to ensure the student scholar’s safety. Additionally, it is the team member’s legal responsibility to contact the student scholar’s parents and inform them of their adolescent’s condition. Our ultimate goal as mental health providers is to restore the
scholar’s emotional well-being in order for him or her to be productive and excel in both the classroom and the community.
