Well-Being Services FAQ

1.Who is eligible to request Contracted Well-Being Services?
Contracted Well-Being Services (CWS) provide direct support to current Oregon public education employees through customized well-being offerings. Eligible services must be delivered only to public education employees in K-12 districts, Education Service Districts (ESDs), and community colleges in Oregon. Services should be designed to meet the specific needs of staff and promote a culture of well-being in the workplace. The following education groups are eligible to request CWS:

  • K-12 school districts                                               
  • Education Service Districts
  • Community colleges
  • Departments or roles within public education organizations
  • Professional development organizations serving specific education employee roles and are not involved in lobbying or labor negotiations
  • Organizations not currently receiving grant funding (Launch, Flourish, Sustain Grants) from Oregon Well-Being Trust

An authorized decision-maker should support and be aware of the request before it is submitted.

2.Who is eligible to benefit from Contracted Well-Being Services?

Any current public education employee who works in a K-12 district, ESD, or community college school in Oregon is eligible to benefit from Contracted Well-Being Services that are provided through their employer or through a job association or organization serving their profession.

3. Can my organization be awarded a Contracted Well-Being Services benefit if we have another form of funding from the Trust?

Organizations that are currently receiving grant funding from Oregon Well-Being Trust are not eligible. Former grantees who are no longer receiving grant funds from the Trust are eligible to submit a CWS request form.

4. When can I submit a Contracted Well-Being Services request form?

Request forms will be reviewed monthly on a rolling basis. If request forms are complete, funding is available, and the requested provider has capacity to offer services, submissions will be accepted in the order that they are received. Please note, priority will be given to organizations returning to continue work with a provider from the previous year, for a maximum of three years.

5. How do I request Contracted Well-Being Services?

  • Determine the well-being needs at your organization or within the group of educators you support.
  • Review the list of Contracted Well-Being Service Providers and identify a provider who meets the well-being needs of your staff or group. When reviewing providers, ensure the timeline, preferred start date, and format of the services are a match for your organization or group.
  • Follow the directions to complete and submit the request form on the Contracted Well-Being Services web page.

6. If my CWS request form has been approved, what are the next steps?

You will receive an approval email with instructions for signing a Service Agreement. Once the Service Agreement has been signed by all parties (Recipient Organization, Service Provider, and the Trust), you will be connected with the provider to discuss a scope of work and plans for implementing services.
