School-Based Mental Health

Supporting student mental health is an important part of helping every learner succeed. School-based mental health services provide support for students who may need help with social, emotional, or behavioral well-being.

In-School Therapy

In addition to school counselors, a school psychologist, and chemical health support, we partner with Sagent Behavioral Health to offer in-school therapy. These services may include a diagnostic assessment, ongoing individual or family therapy, and support connecting school, home, and outside resources. When needed, providers can also help connect families to more intensive mental health services.

If you are interested in exploring in-school therapy for your student, please contact your student’s school counselor.
 

NAMI Parent Warmline Can Help

Parent support team members are parents themselves and can help families with children ages birth to 21 find resources, answer questions, and build a support network—so you know you are not alone. You can reach the warmline by emailing parent.resources@namimn.org.
