Nationally, 1 in 5 children age 13 to 18 live with a mental health condition according to The Village.
In hopes to combat some of the issues our kids face - The Village which is a family service center and the Souris Campus Alternative High School are working together.
Once a week a mental health counselor will be in the school for teens to talk to.
This counselor can assess student needs, create a treatment plan, and determine ways to address the issue. ….
And, services are also available for faculty and staff.

Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
