Community School Liaisons

The Community School Liaison Program is a collaborative initiative between Ashland County School Districts and the Ashland County Mental Health and Recovery Board. Recognizing the vital role schools play as a lifeline for students, this program ensures that students have access to essential behavioral health support and community resources.

Liaisons work closely with students throughout the Ashland County public school district, providing behavioral health support and facilitating connections to the services necessary for their success and well-being.

Thanks to funding from the Mental Health Levy, these services are provided at no cost to families.
