School/Community Liaisons

The Community School Liaison program is an innovative program highlighting a partnership between Ashland County School Districts and the Ashland County Mental Health and Recovery Board. School is an important lifeline for a student, sometimes the only connection between a child’s family and the community resources they need to thrive. Liaisons provide behavioral health support and linkage to the students throughout the Ashland County public school district.

 

Thanks to Mental Health Levy funding and our local school districts, services are offered to schools and families at NO COST.
