Most people in our society recognize that youth mental health concerns and suicide are prevalent issues today. However, when we all work together to form community partnerships and support our community’s families, it provides hope for our youth. We recognize that school districts play a large part in assisting with mental health issues, suicide prevention, and education. With the support of our district administration, we are creating a Unified Mental Health Team approach. Grand Forks Public Schools has more than 50 mental health professionals working collaboratively to provide an array of supports and services for our students and their families.
