Hi, my name is Kristy Gall and I am the Community Resource Worker from Carizon working with Alpine P.S. this school year!
This program is a partnership between Carizon Family and Community Services and the school boards to promote the mental wellness of children and families in our
community and aims to provide families of children from grades JK to 8 with support accessing community mental health services.
Families can access their Community Resource Worker (CRW) for a variety of services:
- Consultations: private, one time, in-person meetings at the school to discuss their mental health concerns or questions about community services.
- Resource Coordination Services: up to three months of personalized support with accessing mental health services and other community services that will help the family achieve their goals, e.g., attending Front Door walk-in sessions with families, helping to complete applications for financial assistance, or providing support with navigating the mental health system.
- Coffee Connections: informative conversations that provide opportunities for parents to learn more tools, approaches, and information on wellness.
For a referral to the Community Resource Program please speak with your principal, Ms. Givlin or any staff member.
