People Incorporated Mental Health Services

YOU CAN HELP CHILDREN & YOUTH THRIVE

All funds raised for our 2026 Give to the Max Day fundraiser from November 1–19 will directly support People Incorporated's Children and Family Services.

At People Incorporated, we bring mental health care directly into schools so students can get support right where they are.

Our Children and Family Services provide comprehensive mental health support and intervention programs designed to meet the unique needs of families and young individuals to foster their emotional well-being and resilience. This includes our School-Based Mental Health program, School and Community Based Skills (CTSS) and Children's Targeted Case Management, which is embedded in 41 schools with 46 therapists supporting students and families every day. 

Your support helps:

• Provide therapy services embedded in school settings
• Enable individual, group, and family skill sessions in school, in homes (families also have transportation issues or they feel more comfortable receiving services in their home), and in community settings
• Case management provides ongoing support and connect clients and families with resources

We provide accessible therapy and mental health services in schools—partnering with school teams to support each child’s unique needs. By becoming part of their school community, we offer steady, personalized care and a reliable source of hope.

                                       

                                                                                                         

 

WHAT YOUR GIFT WILL DO

Your generosity at any level helps us remove barriers to care and make sure no child is turned away. Every dollar counts.

• $25 – Provides financial offset for therapy and supplies (like markers, play dough, and paper—all for the kids!)
• $50 – Provides a full meal with fruit and milk for eight kids in summer programming
• $100 – Supports partial assistance for transportation so youth without reliable access can attend therapy, skills sessions, and group therapy
• $250 – Helps with staff development and ongoing professional training to keep our therapist's top-notch
• $500 – Helps cover uncompensated care for a family in need. With changes to Medicaid, we are receiving less funding and seeing longer wait times for reimbursement—but we do not turn anyone away! Gifts at this level help fill that gap.
• $1,000 – Funds a “Mindful Monday” session in the summer. Mindful Mondays are a day of services for youth, including therapy, groups, and creative workshops (which includes Artability for kids).

What more: this Give to the Max season at People Incorporated, your impact will be doubled. Every dollar you give will be matched by our generous donors, Alden Drew and Mimie Pollard, up to $10,000! Giving your gift allows twice the power to change a life. This incredibly generous match makes your investment in People Incorporated go twice as far.

You’re giving a child hope and healing with your gift of any amount, you’re investing in brighter futures, stronger families, and a stronger Minnesota! Children are our future. Help us secure a stronger, more resilient, and well-adjusted society.

Together, we can make sure children thrive and are empowered to be their best selves.

                                                                                                                                                      

 

OUR IMPACT

• In 2025, 1,184 students (clients served) received therapy through our program
• Our 46 therapists work across 41 schools
• Lead grant agency for the States School Linked Behavioral Health
• Beyond therapy sessions, our team provided more than 1,000 hours of additional support to students, families, and school staff in the first half of 2025

Every number here represents a young person who didn’t have to face their struggles alone.

WHY IT MATTERS

Behind every statistic is a story: A child who found their voice, a family who felt hope again, a teacher who finally had the tools to help a struggling student.

When mental health support is available right at school, students can get support down the hall from someone who knows their world. For many, this is the difference between coping and spiraling, or between isolation and connection. School-based care also supports families and gives educators tools to create compassionate classrooms.

Your gift ensures no child or youth faces their hardest moments alone and every family has somewhere to turn.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
