Case Study: Wayne-Westland Community Schools improves student mental health support with Care Solace

Wayne-Westland Community Schools supports students with Care Solace at Hamilton Elementary’s 41.3% BIPOC school

Wayne-Westland Community Schools, specifically at Hamilton Elementary, faced the challenge of supporting a significant population of students, including those who were unhoused, with their mental health needs. School social worker Laura Wilson needed a way to efficiently connect these students and their families to immediate and long-term care, a complex task that took valuable time away from her other critical commitments within the school community. The school partnered with vendor Care Solace to address this need.

Care Solace provided a solution by acting as an extension of the school's team, taking on the work of mental health care coordination and insurance navigation. This allowed Laura to refer students and families to Care Solace and stay informed on their progress through the vendor's dashboard, giving her peace of mind. The measurable impact was that Care Solace removed this burden from Laura's plate, enabling her to invest more time and energy into the school community she loves.
