Mental Health
Student well-being is a key component of the Noblesville Schools Strategic Plan. We are committed to creating safe, supportive learning environments and providing a comprehensive continuum of mental health services to meet the needs of all students.
Every Noblesville Schools building is staffed with school counselors and school social workers who provide academic, social-emotional, and mental health support. In addition, through partnerships with Aspire Indiana Health and Cartwheel, students and families have access to school-based therapy services, telehealth counseling and psychiatry, parent coaching, and other mental health resources.
These professionals work collaboratively with students, families, teachers, and administrators to build on student strengths and provide timely, coordinated support for concerns such as stress, anxiety, emotional regulation, school avoidance, crisis response, and overall well-being.
Noblesville Schools also has a Director of Mental Health, Maria Huber, LCSW maria_huber@nobl.k12.in.us, who leads districtwide mental health initiatives, coordinates community partnerships, and supports the development of systems and services that promote student wellness across all schools.
Virtual Therapy Through Cartwheel
Noblesville Schools partners with Cartwheel to provide virtual therapy for students with licensed therapists who specialize in child and adolescent mental health.
Students can see a therapist within days and virtual appointments are available mornings, evenings and weekends, so care can fit into your schedule. Please note that sessions must occur outside of the school day and may not be held on school grounds. As these are independent virtual therapy appointments, the school is unable to supervise students during sessions. Care is available in multiple languages and if you have Medicaid, it's completely free. If you have private insurance, Cartwheel is in-network with most plans.
Cartwheel also offers parent guidance sessions—where you can talk with a clinician about what you're seeing and get support for yourself as you figure out how to help your child. You don't have to navigate this alone.
Families can request support through the Noblesville Family Interest Form
