“One of the unique aspects of the Student Health Hub is the fact that we can actually tailor the supports to what we learn from the students in the survey and that could be anything from a specific area of behavioral and or mental health, it could be cultural needs, it could be language needs. Wherever the student and the family are at, we want to meet them there and help them to get the support that they deserve quite frankly.”
Our priorities for Q2 2025:
- Present Hub at Washington State Youth Mental Health Summit
- Award Grant Funds to Initial Cohort of Behavioral and Housing Providers
- Prepare for Pilot Test of School-Based Housing Pathway
- Prepare for Hub Expansion in SY 2025-2026
The Student Health Hub is a service of Health Commons Project (HCP).
