PATH Counseling

PATH (Providing Access to Healing) Counseling is a program which breaks down barriers for students to receive mental health counseling. PATH is a partnership between the United Way of Sheboygan County, Lakeshore Community Health Care, and the School District of Howards Grove. PATH is unique in that it allows students to receive mental health counseling right at school during the school day. The PATH program may also provide financial assistance for students whom this may be a barrier.

PATH is currently at Northview, the Middle School, and High School. For more information or to make a referral, please contact School Social Worker Anna McCarthy at amccarthy @hgsd.k12.wi.us, Middle School Counselor Jessica Luecke at jluecke@hgsd.k12.wi.us or Elementary School Counselor Amy Pfeifer at apfeiferl@hgsd.k12.wi.us
