Mental Health Overview

North Homes provides mental health services in all of our school buildings during the school year.

School-based mental health services strengthen students and their families through prevention and intervention within a school setting. For eligible students, a mental health professional will meet with the student and family to formulate goals in conjunction with feedback from school professionals. Students may receive individual, family, and/or group therapy directed towards changing and reducing symptoms of a mental health condition aimed at improving functioning at home, school, and in the community.

If you are interested in setting up services within the Mahtomedi School District please contact Lindsay Leemann by phone (218) 244 - 7241 or email lindsay.leemann@northhomes.org. She will direct you to the provider in your child's respective school. They will then walk you through the referral and intake process.

Close to 100 families and staff members from Mahtomedi Public Schools gathered on October 15, 2019 to discuss mental health. The conversation was part of the Zephyr Wellness series and is an opportunity for families and staff to earn, grow, and support each other on wellness issues. Presenters discussed the difference between age-appropriate expected behaviors and common behavioral signs that may benefit from professional mental health support. The presenters also gave an overview involving how to access mental health supports in Washington County and at Mahtomedi Public Schools. Members of the Mahtomedi High School Student Leadership Council assisted in the free childcare program so parents could attend the event.
