School-Based Mental Health in Howards Grove and Manitowoc

Lakeshore Community Health Care is also partnering with the School District of Howards Grove and a few schools in the Manitowoc Public School District to provide mental health care and therapy for students during their school day. We're able to provide a comprehensive approach of school based behavioral and mental health services designed to support students within the school day and remove stigma and barriers to accessing care working together with the family, student and the school.

We hope to expand school-based mental health services to more schools in the future.
