Student Wellness Coordinator

Student Wellness Coordinator

The Student Wellness Coordinator at the Excel Center High School is a district level role responsible for coordinating student mental health supports, behavioral intervention, restorative practices, and school-based wellness structures across community-based school sites. This role provides coordination, oversight, and support to the Mental Health & Wellness (MHW) team while promoting consistent, trauma-informed, equitable, and student-centered practices across schools.

The Coordinator supports the development, implementation, and refinement of systems related to behavioral support, restorative intervention, Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA), crisis response, disciplinary and restorative processes, and student mental health services.

The Coordinator balances systems coordination with hands-on implementation support, including staff coaching, case consultation, documentation support, process development and facilitation, and cross-functional collaboration.

This role works closely with district leadership, Campus Directors, MHW clinicians, and external partners to ensure consistent, compliant, and effective systems that support student persistence, safety, belonging, and success while remaining responsive to the unique needs of adult learners.
