Supporting mental wellness for children & their families in school
Body
Wilder partners with 30 schools across Saint Paul and the Twin Cities to provide school-based mental health and wellness services that are culturally centered, trauma informed and impactful for the whole family. Our diverse school-based mental health team supports the unique identities and experiences of students and their families, right in school! Children and families receive culturally affirming, holistic, therapeutic support right, while school teachers and staff access trauma-informed consultation. We support mental wellness by:
- Stabilizing and improving mental health
- Providing cultural affirmation and role modeling for students
- Improving behaviors at home, in school and in the community
- Helping maintain or improve school success
- Increasing parental involvement in the child’s education and school activities
- Inspire hope for the future
If your child or student is having social, emotional, behavioral or any mental health challenges in school:
- Contact our school-based mental health team: call 651-325-2766 for more information.
- Contact our clinic team for outpatient children's and family mental health services: For children ages 0-17 and their families, call Wilder's Community Mental Health and Wellness Clinic at 651-280-2310.
