Mental health is an essential component of student success, and the Max Foundation is proud to support programs that provide crucial mental health services in schools. Through its generous funding, the Foundation is helping students thrive by offering access to on-site mental health professionals.
Rachel Bartz, LICSW, MSW, has been a trusted presence in the Warroad School District since 2022, offering counseling and support to students. This fall, in collaboration with LifeCare Medical Center, the program expanded with the addition of a skills based mental health worker who meets with students one-on-one, equipping them with practical tools and coping strategies identified by the mental health professionals.
Together, these services are empowering students with the skills they need to navigate challenges and succeed academically and emotionally.
