HopeSpoke Expands Partnership with Lincoln Public Schools

HopeSpoke (www.hopespoke.org) is excited to expand the number of schools where they have a therapist co-located. During this school year, they are adding services at Lakeview, Meadow Lane, and Roper Elementary Schools; Pound and Schoo Middle Schools; and expanding services by 50% at Park Middle School and Lincoln High School. These services are supported through Region V, Juvenile Justice Prevention Fund, Medicaid, and Lincoln Public Schools. This expands the number of schools HopeSpoke is at to 19.

HopeSpoke staff understands the importance of early intervention and treatment of emotional, physical, and/or environmental trauma. The idea is not only to help people engage in healthier behaviors but to help them heal from the pain, restoring hope for a better tomorrow.

A variety of mental health services are provided within the school setting for students at Lincoln Public Schools who are in need of therapy. Choices and Pilots of Change provide programming for students identified as at risk for substance using behavior including group and individual therapy.

HopeSpoke will continue services at the following elementary schools: Clinton, Elliott, Everett, Hartley, McPhee, Pershing, and Prescott; middle schools: Dawes, Goodrich, Mickle; and high schools: Northeast and North Star. To access these services for your child or youth, please contact your school for assistance, or you may call (402) 475-7666. Learn more about HopeSpoke online at www.hopespoke.org.
