The Hope Center

Harbourton Foundation’s partnership with the Hope Center of the Eagle River Valley supports 13 mental health clinicians who provide therapeutic support to students in 15 schools, including an expansion of services this fall for elementary students. During the first semester of the 21/22 school year, 538 students (K-12) connected with Hope Center school-based clinicians for ongoing individual or group therapy sessions. The school-based clinicians documented over 5,300 interactions that include individual therapy sessions, family and group sessions, initial assessments, crisis assessments and case management. The school team is responding to intense behavioral health issues with elementary aged students who are suffering from high levels of family stress; the school team has completed suicide risk assessments for elementary aged children as young as 6 years old.
