Defining Excellence in Healthcare
Elizabeth Sedlak, Chief Revenue OfficerTransforming the landscape of mental health through innovative educational practices, LearnWell stands at the forefront of providing school-aged patients with equitable access to both academic and counseling services. By bridging the divide, LearnWell ensures that the educational journey continues seamlessly for children and adolescents facing behavioral health challenges, not just sustaining their academic growth but nurturing their recovery.
“The company’s purpose is to provide more equitable access to education, counseling, and therapeutic services in the behavioral health field. Our goal is to be a change maker in serving children and adolescents who need mental health resources,” says Kathleen Egger, Ed.D. CEO at LearnWell. At the heart of LearnWell’s philosophy lies a commitment to a holistic approach that respects each patient’s unique needs and integrates multiple facets of treatment to support wellness and learning.
Spearheading Integrated Academic and Mental Health Services
Founded on the belief that educational wellness is a critical piece in the mental health recovery puzzle, LearnWell has become the provider of choice for behavioral healthcare facilities seeking comprehensive academic solutions. The company’s robust set of services extends crucial support to both young patients and their families, fueling mental health recovery and smoothing the transition back into the traditional school environment.
“Our collaboration with treatment centers and K-12 districts across the country redefines recovery, intertwining behavioral wellbeing with academic momentum,” shares Elizabeth Sedlak, Chief Revenue Officer at LearnWell.
In an industry where hospital-based educational options are often limited or non-existent due to the daunting task of employing dedicated teachers or securing coordination with local school districts, LearnWell emerges as the guardian of continuous education.
Education without Interruption
LearnWell expertly manages the educational aspect, affording healthcare practitioners the freedom to prioritize patient wellbeing, while LearnWell-certified teachers shoulder the responsibility of catering to students’ academic progress.
Operating in concert with its affiliate organizations— ilearn wellness group, Comprehensive Counseling, and Metta Psychiatry—LearnWell delivers an interwoven network of support, assisting individuals at every phase of their mental health journeys.
LearnWell’s teachers are more than educators—they are connectors, ensuring that each hospitalized child remains engaged with their academic pursuit, earning necessary attendance credits, and receiving tailor-made instruction to stay in step with their classmates.
A Day in the LearnWell Classroom
The LearnWell classroom model is a testament to the function and flow of effective educational practice within a clinical setting. Starting with ‘do now’ activities to focus students’ minds, LearnWell teachers lay out clear expectations and guide each student in setting daily individual goals, fostering a productive, goal-orientated academic environment.
Success in Flexibility and Engagement
Two compelling narratives underscore LearnWell’s impact. In New York, LearnWell broke down barriers set by rigid school district schedules, working hand-in-glove with a hospital to adapt to the patient’s therapeutic needs.
In Maine, a school district confronting low student engagement experienced overnight change post LearnWell intervention, witnessing newfound enthusiasm and a surge in classroom participation.
