The Peace Wapiti Public School Division, in partnership with the Grande Prairie Public School Division and the Government of Alberta, will implement Child and Adolescent Services for All (CASA) classrooms during the 2025-26 school year.
CASA Mental Health is a non-profit that focuses on providing holistic, culturally safe “wrap-around” mental health services to Albertans between the ages of three to 18, and their families. The organization aims to provide services to the “missing middle-mental health treatment” in the classroom for kids with a diagnosis.
“CASA Classrooms address the need for services closer to students by bridging a child’s mental health and school needs,” the PWPSD explains.
Last year, CASA Classrooms launched within two Northern Alberta schools- one in Bonnyville and another in Fort McMurray, along with seven others across the province.
CASA Mental Health delivers assessment and treatment for nearly 9,000 youths and their families around Alberta every year.
