Our innovative School-Based Mental Health program focuses on helping students with their challenges.
Research has found that half of all mental illnesses like major depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse start by age 14. Left untreated, these disorders can lead to higher rates of violence, school dropout, family dysfunction, juvenile incarceration, chemical dependency and unintentional injuries. By focusing on the student, and supporting the school environment, Lee Carlson Center for Mental Health & Well-being is able to build a strong partnership to help identify concerns and eliminate barriers of access for students & their families.
Referrals for the program come through parents, principals, student assistance teams, school social workers or counselors. All services are provided in a confidential manner with engaged family involvement. To learn more about our School-Based Mental Health Program or to schedule an intake, call 763.780.3036.
