School Community Liaison Program

  • 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, services are offered to schools and families at NO COST.
