Mental Health Support

Did You Know?

Mental health problems are common, affecting 1 in 5 students from kindergarten through high school.
Mental health problems can affect the student’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being and can interfere with their learning and daily functioning at home and in school.
Students who receive mental health services improve their social-emotional functioning and academic performance.

In many Saint Paul Public Schools, students may have direct access to mental health services at school and during school hours.
