The School District of Athens is excited to announce a partnership with Bridge Community Health Clinic to provide Mental Health School Based Counseling in Athens during the 22-23 school year. Jen will be at the High School on Thursdays. More information will be available at the Open House on Thursday from 2-6 pm at the Athens High School. See below for a brief bio on our new counselor, Jen: Jen came to Bridge Community Health Clinic in March 2022 as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin - Stout and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. Before coming to Bridge, Jen worked in the counseling field for 17 years in a number of different settings including outpatient, day treatment, public school, in-home, and residential treatment. Jen has experience providing individual, family, and group counseling to address a wide variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, grief/loss, child behavioral problems, parenting challenges, trauma, abuse, sexually reactive behaviors, and difficult family dynamics. Jen believes that everyone in this world has a voice and a story that is worthy of being heard and validated. She believes in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship through empowerment and instilling hope.
That’s a rap on the 2022 fair season. Not only do our FFA members show dairy and beef, but they also show dogs, cats, sheep, goats and horses. Our members had a great fair season and a few highlights from the Athens Fair are Kaydin showing the Junior Purebred Holstein Champion, MyKayla showing the Junior Brown Swiss Champion, and Carlissa being named Athens Fair Queen. Great job to all our members and congrats on all your awards.
Open House is coming! Thursday August 25th for the District. Check out the details on what is going on.
