School-Linked Mental Health (SLMH) services are available in Ramsey County Public School Districts (ISD’s 621, 622, 623, 624, 625 and 916). SLMH connects youth with clinical mental health treatments and related supports. SLMH may be provided at school, in-office, at home, over the phone, or virtually.  

CRITERIA: SLMH services are for youth who may be struggling with emotions or behaviors that are impacting their lives at school, home or in the community. They do not need to be receiving special education services or have an individualized education plan (IEP.)

PAYMENT: If youth are covered by a health insurance plan, providers will bill the insurance company and assess the co-pay required. If youth are uninsured, underinsured, or have a high deductible or co-pay amount- the provider will use grant funds from the Department of Human Services, the Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative and the Ramsey County Children’s Mental Health.
