On this week's episode of the EDUCA DPS Podcast, Will Jones, Executive Director of Communications for Denver Public Schools, sits down with social worker Amanda Wentz for an important discussion on substance abuse and mental health. Amanda works for DPS as Manager of Substance Use Prevention and Therapeutic Service Provider Programs.

Since 2017, when the substance use prevention program began, Amanda and her team have served over 10,000 DPS students annually through education. In 2022, therapeutic service provider programs were launched, and in their first year served approximately 500 students through individualized therapy.

Amanda and her team are invaluable to our DPS students’ health, safety, and overall well-being. This is a crucial and candid conversation you don’t want to miss.
