The Issaquah School District and Swedish Hospital have teamed up to support the mental health and well-being of ISD students. The district recently contracted with Swedish for the professional services of three on-site mental health specialists.

While the specialists are housed at Issaquah, Liberty and Skyline high schools, counselors and administrators at all of our schools have access to them as a resource. For some time, the district has been seeking a way to provide professional-level care for mental health in its schools, officials said. Swedish Hospital, meanwhile, has recognized the need to extend its mental health services to the community off-site.
