“Bellingham Public Schools is on its way to completing the district’s first mental and medical health center available to its students. The facility is being built at Options High School, the district’s alternative high school that provides “innovative and flexible learning experiences” and supports students planning “for a wide range of educational and vocational opportunities,” the school’s website states.
The first phase of renovations for the health center, which provide space for one-on-one mental health therapy and support groups, began in January and was completed in April. The district is in the middle of the design and permitting process for the second phase, which will add medical services to the center, according to Bellingham Public Schools spokesperson Dana Smith.”
