Our holistic mental health practitioner, Gillian DeBruno, is available to see students and parents (together or separately). Gillian offers support for those struggling with depression, anxiety, isolation, pandemic fatigue, home life dynamics, friendship drama, school performance, and any other issues. She is here so that students can be heard and seen. Everything will be confidential and sessions are free! Gillian hopes to speak with every NCS student at least once this year. There is no commitment. Students can see her just once, or once a week from now until the end of the school year.

Gillian’s drop-in hours at NCS main site:

Tuesdays from noon - 2 pm AND Thursdays from 10 am to noon

Gillian can be reached via email: gillian@networkcharterschool.net

Hoots (helping out our teens in school)

Helping Out Our Teens in Schools (HOOTS) provides on-site integrated health care clinics and tragedy response support to a number of high schools in the Eugene/Springfield area. Each week, teams consisting of a medic (either a nurse or an EMT) and a crisis worker (with years of experience in the mental health field) visit Network to offer walk-in clinics. HOOTS staff are able to provide short term counseling, resource referrals and OHP sign-up. We understand that this is a time of heightened anxiety for our community and that we are all in need of additional reassurance and support. HOOTS is at Network as follows…

Mondays from 10 am to noon

Wednesdays from 12:30 to 2:30 pm

Students should check in with Jon at the front desk if they wish to see the HOOTS team.
