Meet our WRAP Therapists – Jody Smith

With the start of school approaching, we want to recognize our individual WRAP therapists. WRAP (Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities) is a Bert Nash Center in-school therapy program, in partnership with Douglas County schools. The groundbreaking program began in 1997 and continues to thrive today. WRAP assigns a master’s-level clinician to a school to work collaboratively with the school’s mental health professionals to help with the behavioral, emotional, and psychological problems students can have. We are proud of our WRAP therapists and wish them and all Douglas County students and their families, as well as teachers, staff, and administrators a successful school year.

"I have a heart to meet students where they are at and come alongside them with support and resources that they may need. I want students to feel known and connected. I understand from personal experience how important and meaningful it is to have a connection with a trusted adult in school. I am thankful for the opportunity to provide students with a safe place to receive support and connect with someone who cares about them."
