Stronger Schools (In-School Mental Health Services)

At Stronger Oregon, we know that student success doesn’t just happen in the classroom—it happens when young people feel safe, supported, and mentally well. That’s why we created Stronger Schools, an in-school mental health program that brings licensed and associate-level clinicians directly into Oregon schools to meet students where they are.

With a growing mental health crisis among youth, we’re proud to offer a statewide solution rooted in access, cultural responsiveness, and collaboration.

From Portland to Medford, Stronger Schools is embedded in dozens of Oregon school districts, including:

Culturally & Linguistically Responsive Care

As an Oregon Health Authority-recognized CLSS (Culturally and Linguistically Specialized Services) provider, Stronger Schools is committed to meeting the needs of all students.

We offer bilingual and bicultural clinicians, with services available in:

  • Spanish / Español

  • Russian

  • American Sign Language (ASL)

We specialize in serving LGBTQ+ students, students of color, neurodivergent youth, and those navigating trauma, housing instability, or systemic barriers. We also provide WPATH letters as part of gender-affirming support services.

A No-Cost Model That Works for Districts

We believe that cost should never be a barrier to supporting student mental health. That’s why Stronger Schools offers:

  • No-cost-to-district contracts (funded through insurance)

  • Fee-for-service models when needed

  • Transparent communication around credentialing and hurdles

  • Telehealth services as an immediate solution

  • Efforts to open local offices when needed for in-person support

Even financially struggling districts can benefit from equitable, culturally aligned mental health care—and we’re here to make it happen.
