Parent Summit is Thursday, January 16. During the session Putting our Kids’ Mental Health Needs First you will learn more about resources in Lincoln County. Lincoln County citizens voted to “Put Kids First” in 2006, approving a ¼ cent sales tax to fund mental and behavioral health programs and services for Lincoln County kids ages 0-19, effectively creating the Lincoln County Resource Board (LCRB). (The LCRB represents one of only nine county children’s services funds across the state.) Learn how Elsberry students and families partner with LCRB-funded providers to help their kids achieve their behavioral health goals, improve their daily function and academic performance, and, ultimately, reach their full potential. Meet some of our LCRB-funded providers and discover how they work with Lincoln County children and families in their homes, schools and communities at no out-of-pocket costs to parents and caregivers.
