Schools provide a variety of mental health supports for at-risk students who struggle with mental health issues. Results of various student surveys indicate that a high percentage of K-12 students have evidence of significant mental health difficulties including anxiety, mood disorders and suicidal thoughts. These symptoms often are too severe for student support counseling services, and many districts have incorporated on-site, co-located diagnostic and treatment services provided by community mental health clinic personnel. Districts face the challenge of determining the best use of their financial allocations (e.g.,hiring a school counselor or social worker versus helping to subsidize several community mental health practitioners).
This consultation, provided to the Minnetonka, Minnesota school district, outlines how districts can utilize data-driven decisions in order to successfully meet the needs of vulnerable students.
