School Based Mental Health Program
The Redwood County Collaborative maintains a school-based mental health program in all Redwood County school districts. A Mental Health Practitioner provides mental health services within school, home, and community to children showing early and/or ongoing signs of mental health issues. The Mental Health Practitioner can provide services ranging from individual, group, and family sessions concentrating on skill building and problem solving issues to crisis services and coordination of services as a child returns to their school system. Services also include prevention and education.
