The Student Health Center provides counseling services during school hours to the students of Park County School District #1 ages pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and their families. This program is supported by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration through the Wyoming Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education). Services Counseling services are provided by a licensed counselor for a variety of issues such as behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, family changes, or grief and adjustments. A parent or legal guardian must be present at the intake appointment. Parents are not required to attend subsequent appointments unless requested by the therapist. Insurance and Sliding Fee Plans The Student Health Center accepts private health insurance, Medicaid, and KidCare/CHIP. Patients may be eligible for discounted fees based on household size and income on our sliding fee schedule. The sliding fee scale is available to patients who qualify based on their annual income and household size. Patients who earn up to 200% of the federal poverty line, which is $50,200 for a household of four, qualify for services on the sliding fee scale. No child will be denied services based on ability to pay.
