The Ballard Teen Health Center (BTHC) is a partnership between Swedish and BHS, providing students with medical and mental health services virtually and at our school campus. At our Winter General Meeting, BTHC staff answered pre-selected parent questions and shared helpful resources for these challenging times.
Speakers: BTHC staff, Mental Health Counselor Chelsea Clark, MSW, LICSW and Karen Boudour, ARNP. The evening also included an introduction to new BHS School Nurse Laurie Tirtanadi, RN, MS, ARNP who shared thoughts on stress reduction for the community as a whole. One of the BHS School Counselors Sonja Petersen also shared her expertise and how the Counseling Center is often a student's first step to reaching out for help when they're needing assistance.
