Supporting Student Well-Being Beyond the Classroom
At Boise School District, we believe in fostering a supportive environment where every student can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. As part of our commitment to student well-being, we've partnered with BPA Health to offer the K-12 School Well-Being Program. This program is designed to provide comprehensive support to students from kindergarten to 12th grade, as well as their immediate families.
K-12 School Well-Being Program (SWP)
What is SWP?
The K-12 School Well-Being Program or SWP is a 100% school-provided benefit at NO COST to you. It offers access to personal and confidential counseling and other life resources to students and families in the Boise School District.
This benefit provides support in many areas, including 24/7 Crisis Line, Family & Relationship support, assistance with academic pressures, support with alcohol and drug use, grief counseling, and other community and well-being resources such as legal and financial consultation benefits.
How SWP Works
Access to your free and confidential counseling is easy.
Here's how it works:
- To get started, simply call, text, or chat with your Service Navigator or submit an online request at BPAHealth.com
- After you speak to a service navigator, or your request has been submitted, you'll get personalized recommendations for therapists and well-being resources.
- Simply select your therapist and make an appointment.
- Your Service Navigator will follow up with you to ensure that you're getting exactly what you need.
