Our Partnership with Parent Guidance
In addition to many no-cost resources, SAU21 Districts have partnered with the Cook Center for Human Connection to offer private 1:1 coaching sessions with a trained mental health coach to interested families and staff members.
These sessions include a weekly 30 minute phone call and 24/7 access to a professional via text or email. The service is offered in English or Spanish. The Cook Center provides a customized roadmap of support based on family needs.
We anticipate that this will be an invaluable resource for families.

Why This Matters
In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health, citing rising rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, and thoughts of suicide. These challenges have lasting impacts on students, families, and communities.
Additionally, educators have observed increased behavioral challenges and classroom disruptions following the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected schools, homes, and communities in profound ways.
Supporting the Mental Health Needs of Our Students
The mental health and well-being of our students are priorities for Conrad Weiser ASD. Through this partnership, we aim to provide families with meaningful tools and resources to support children’s emotional and mental health.
