The Marathon County School-Based Counseling Consortium comprises of nonprofit and
for-profit mental health clinics, public school districts, and community organizations. Consortium counseling agencies are able to provide on-site mental health counseling to students in all Marathon County public schools.
If you would like to refer your child for school-based counseling or would like more information, please complete the form to the left and a representative from your child's school will contact you.
Virtual/on-site licensed mental health therapists from Bridge Community Health Clinic and Centre for Wellbeing are accessible at John Muir Middle School. Services are billed through the family's insurance, but don't let cost prevent care; financial help is available.
