Marisa Calvert, Mental Health Specialist

The Mental Health Specialist provides support & counseling to students enrolled at StepUP and also supports RSD students and families in obtaining access to additional community services and resources.

When applicable, the Mental Health Specialist offers care coordination services with community providers serving shared students, with the goal of ensuring collaboration in order to meet the diverse needs of students and families. Marisa joined the StepUP team in 2018. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health and intensive youth services.

Redmond School District offers access to Care Solace, a free and confidential Mental Health Care Coordination Service for our students and their families. Care Solace helps connect you with local mental health and/or substance use providers based on your unique needs—whether you use public or private insurance, or need sliding scale options. They offer 24/7/365 support, including weekends and holidays, and do the work of finding available providers so you don’t have to. For more information, call 888-515-0595 or visit caresolace.com/redmondsd and either search on your own, or click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.

School-Based Health Centers, located at Lynch Elementary and Redmond High School, are also a great place to get connected with medical and mental health services. Sponsored by Mosaic Medical and in partnership with Deschutes County Behavioral Health, the School-Based Health Centers are available to students and families regardless of insurance coverage or the ability to pay.
