United Steelworkers Local 248 donation supports student mental health initiatives

TOMAHAWK – The School District of Tomahawk recently received a $10,000.00 donation from the United Steelworkers Local 248 to strengthen student mental health resources and support services.

The district said the contribution will be used to expand access to crisis intervention counselors and telehealth mental health providers.

The services are designed to “bridge the critical gap students often face while waiting for appointments with their regular counselors, a period that can stretch up to six months or more,” according to the district.

“We are deeply grateful to the United Steelworkers Local 248 for their commitment to our students,” the district stated. “This donation ensures that our young people have timely access to essential mental healthcare when they need it most, providing stability and support during critical moments. By addressing urgent mental health needs, this initiative aims to improve student well-being, strengthen resilience, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive both in and out of the classroom. United Steelworkers Local 248's support highlights the power of community partnerships in building a stronger future for students.”
