Duchesne Partners with Catholic Charities for Mental Health Services

 

Duchesne Academy and Catholic Charities of Omaha have announced the continuation of the School Mental Health Program. 

This program seeks to assist schools by providing mental health services to metro and rural schools, either on-site or by telehealth.

Duchesne will continue to offer on-site mental health services through Catholic Charities Outpatient Services.

Parents who wish to begin services should follow these steps:

1. Please contact the guidance counseling office at Duchesne to determine if your child is eligible for the program. Mrs. Krissy Walsh can be reached at KWalsh@duchesneacademy.org or at 402-810-9953.

2. Once eligibility for the program has been determined, contact Catholic Charities Behavioral Health Services at 531-213-7396 or ccbhs@ccomaha.org.

3. Ask for outpatient services with Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart.

4. Outpatient intake paperwork will be sent to your email via a secure portal. Paper copies of the intake paperwork are also available at Duchesne’s counseling office.

5. Once all paperwork has been completed and insurance has been verified, you will be notified of coverage for mental health services.

6. A therapist will reach out to schedule the initial intake session.

*Please note if the cost of mental health services is a financial hardship for your family, assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis

 

The identified time-period for service provision is August 11, 2023 through May 17, 2024. Those direct services may include individual therapy and family therapy. Education about mental health topics will be made available to school personnel. Crisis response and support will be provided as needed and requested.
