Summary
Waukegan Public Schools’ Wraparound Center will add Grow Community, a trauma-informed mental-health provider that will join existing partners to serve middle-school students; referrals can be made through the district’s community referral form.
Waukegan Public Schools will soon add Grow Community as a direct service provider at the district’s Wraparound Center, district communications director Nico Salazakis announced.
The addition will pair Grow Community’s trauma-informed mental-health services with existing partners CYN Counseling Center and A Safe Place to support middle-school students in Waukegan, Salazakis said.
The Wraparound Center is presented by district communications as a key resource for therapeutic support for students. “Grow specializes in trauma informed mental health services and brings years of experience working with middle school students here in Waukegan,” Salazakis said. Referrals to the center can be made through the district’s community referral form, he said.
The district did not provide enrollment caps, a contract start date, or funding details during the announcement. Salazakis framed the change as an expansion of services rather than a replacement of existing partners.
District officials directed listeners to the Waukegan Public Schools website for more information and for the community referral form.
