Group to deploy counselors to Marathon County schools as mental health needs rise [WausauDailyHerald.com]

There are not enough mental health care providers in Marathon County to help all the students who could be treated in schools.

But this fall a new, grassroots collaboration will start to put more counselors in schools to help improve kids' mental health.

Lee Shipway, a social worker and co-executive director at Peaceful Solutions Counseling in Wausau, realized the need last year after she sent a therapist into the Edgar School District. Edgar officials decided students needed someone on site because they were missing school and their parents were missing work for therapy appointments, Shipway said.
