MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES:

Do you think you or your child could benefit from meeting with the school counselor?  Feel free to complete the School Counselor Request Form, or email me with your concerns, or call me. Please note that privacy cannot be guaranteed in electronic communication. 

If you would like your child to be seen by Jamie Mapp, LMHP (Free service provided here at Freeman Public Schools) you can reach out to Mrs. Alexander to get the referral form. 


These spaces can provide comfort, community, tranquility, while at the same time be isolating, and have limited available resources. There are many influences on the mental health of rural residents that must be taken into account such as stigma, access to care, resilience, isolation, cultural perspectives, technology and telehealth, and mindful living.

Teens are available to help daily from 4-10pm PST (adults are available by phone at all other times)

YouthLine is a free teen-to-teen crisis support and help line. YouthLine is confidential to a point- while we will never share conversations had on the lines, we are mandatory reporters. If a young person is unable to agree to safety for themselves or another person or if someone has experienced abuse or assault, YouthLine may contact other agencies to ensure the best support and safety for the young person in crisis.


The CSPC offers low-cost, sliding-scale mental health counseling to children, adolescents, and their families under the supervision of a Licensed Psychologist. The CSPC can also collaborate with schools, doctors, and other service providers at the family’s request. We offer counseling sensitive to race, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion. For those based outside of Lincoln and Omaha (e.g., Waverly, Elmwood, etc.), their services would be covered through the Swanson Foundation for therapeutic services. Both in-person and telehealth services are offered.
