West Virginia Launches Statewide School Telehealth Mental Health Program: $1.9 Million Grant Covers K-12 Students
West Virginia announced on November 12 the launch of a statewide school-based telehealth mental health program. Telehealth provider Cartwheel Care has received a $1.9 million grant through the state's Rural Health Transformation Program to provide high-quality mental health services to students and families across the state. The program is open to all public school districts in West Virginia and also covers charter schools, private schools, microschools and homeschooled students, with treatment, psychiatric services, parent guidance and family therapy provided by clinicians licensed in the state.
The state health department said the initiative aims to address a severe shortage of mental health services in West Virginia, shorten waiting lists that can stretch for months, and improve students' health and academic outcomes. Marshall University will serve as the program's independent research and evaluation partner. Governor Patrick Morrisey had previously announced the initiative, and districts and families can learn how to participate through the program's website.
