United Way of Sheboygan County, the Sheboygan Area School District and Random Lake School District have issued a Request for Information/Request for Proposal (RFI/RFP) to organizations interested in developing the School-Based Mental Health Access Project (Providing Access to Healing – PATH).
Applicant organizations must be a tax-exempt organization, certified by the State of Wisconsin as a qualified mental health and AODA agency or designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) receiving grants under Section 330 of the Public Health Services Act and capable of billing third party payers for services. Start-up funding of approximately $40,000 per year, for this 2-year pilot, will be provided by the United Way of Sheboygan County.
United Way’s PATH for Students is a school-based, mental health program designed to improve access to therapy services for those students experiencing barriers to care elsewhere in the community. Based on priorities identified by over 300 people who attended the March 2014 Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Community Conversation, United Way is seeking to pilot the PATH program in two school districts beginning with the 2015-16 academic school year. The intent of the program is to improve access to mental health services. The program proposed by the United Way of Sheboygan County (United Way) is based on the PATH program which began as a pilot in the Fox Valley in 2008.
An informational session will be held for all interested applicants on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the United Way of Sheboygan County, 2020 Erie Avenue in Sheboygan. The RFI/RFP will be available on the United Way of Sheboygan County website www.uwofsc.org on March 18th.
Those interested in attending the informational meeting are asked to RSVP to the United Way of Sheboygan County at 920.458.3425.
The RFI/RFP proposals are due Monday, April 20, 2015 by 4:30 p.m.
