Mental health care services are available in more than 80% of Minnesota’s public school districts, but persistent gaps remain. While most student mental health support is provided by a combination of school staff and outside mental-health practitioners, nonprofits like Know the Truth and Restoration for All bring unique types of care into schools, offering peer-recovery specialists and culturally specific support for immigrant and refugee students.

This news article from Post Bulletin underscores the patchwork system of support and the need for innovative solutions. Our recent blog post on Minnesota’s mental-health crisis highlighted the dwindling pandemic funding and high student-to-counselor ratios. Together, these reports reveal how schools are seeking community partners and new programs to complement traditional services.

Our motivational BMX assemblies and mental-health program can help fill these gaps by engaging students with thrilling stunts and authentic stories about resilience, kindness and healthy lifestyles. We can partner with schools and nonprofits to provide interactive assemblies that align with SEL and mental-wellness goals.
