Canvas Health provides embedded school-based mental health services in many Northeast Metro 916 schools and programs. Their clinicians offer therapy in schools to help increase accessibility and collaboration with the 916 teams. Therapy services are billed to your insurance company (with some grant funds available), and most students meet weekly during the school day with their therapist. Reach out to your school social worker for a referral to this program.
School-based services are offered in the following 916 programs: Pankalo Education Center, Quora Secondary School, WELS-North, Karner Blue Education Center, Metro Heights Academy, East View Academy, 916 Mahtomedi Academy, and the 916 Career & Tech Center.
Additionally, Canvas Health provides mental health day treatment within the 916 Elementary Mental Health Classrooms at Karner Blue Education Center. In this program, Canvas Health partners with Karner Blue staff to help improve the lives of families and children who are struggling with complex symptoms of mental health in a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach. We provide school-based day treatment services to increase access to support children and their families by offering group therapy, family therapy, skills training, and milieu (in the classroom) treatment. This program is designed to assist students and, in partnership with their families, learn about and cope with their mental health symptoms by achieving success in school, at home, and within the community.
