Wellness

At Duchesne Academy, we prioritize our young women's health and well-being, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and support needed to thrive both academically and personally. Our young women face academic demands, tight schedules, technology distractions, and more, often neglecting their own emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. That's why we've taken the initiative to create a comprehensive Wellness Program to empower our students to care for themselves and lead balanced lives.

Our Wellness Program includes:

Curriculum

We educate our students about holistic well-being.

Balance and Sleep

We adopted a new bell schedule to adapt to our busy world.

Conflict

Communication and Resolution

Fostering a positive environment for all.

Community

Strong and Loving

Students feel safe and connected.

Celebrating Culture

Embrace the uniqueness of each student.

Sustainability

Caring for God's Creation

On-site Mental Health Services

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
