Folsom Cordova Unified School District is committed to promoting student wellness so that all students achieve academic, social-emotional, and behavioral success.Through the intentional alignment of initiatives and resources, we commit to supporting the needs of the whole-child. The Strategic Initiatives and Support Services Department works closely with the Social Emotional Learning & Educational Equity Department and the  Attendance and Due Process & Safety Department to support the wellness of our students, staff and families. Programs in the Strategic Initiatives Department include:

• School-based Mental Health/Student Wellness Team Clinicians
• Community Schools initiative
• Positive School Climate/Climate Facilitators
• PBIS implementation 
• Family Engagement/Parent Coordinators
• Improvement Science Coaching

Our Student Wellness Team provides a variety of mental and emotional health services ranging from school wellness campaigns to more intensive and individualized short-term counseling services at all middle and high schools. Most of our elementary schools have an assigned Student Wellness Team member.  We also work closely with partners and community service agencies to connect families with longer term resources. Students, staff and families can access out-of-school counseling and substance abuse treatment services through Care Solace.
