School-Based Mental Health Services
Our School-Based Mental Health Services began in 1998 to bring community mental health directly to students and their families within a school setting. Today these services are one of the few offered in the Twin Cities metro that embeds therapists in four districts: Robbinsdale, Osseo, Anoka-Hennepin, Intermediate District 287, and Spero Academy (Charter School).
Therapy is provided onsite, making it more accessible for busy families, and reducing variables that may prevent individuals from receiving care.
