Thank you to the schools, program collaborators and community for welcoming me into my Connected Community Wellness Screen and E3 Program Coordinator role with Samaritan. I’m Jen Parsons, and I joined Samaritan’s team in February.

In this position I will oversee Samaritan’s Connected Community Wellness Screen and E3 teams as they conduct specialty screenings for youth that provide early identification of and intervention in highly treatable mental health concerns. These programs’ aim to prevent suicide. We equip teens to thrive in school and in life, and connect teens and families who need it to a provider to get help. I am excited to lead the Samaritan team that provides this invaluable resource to the seven school districts we serve.

For more information about Samaritan’s screening programs or if you’d like to become a community partner in providing this resource, please contact me at 920-886-9319  x109 or [email protected].
