The Community School Collaborative at Thomas Edison High School

The Community School Collaborative (CSC) is a project of Change Inc. providing prevention, early intervention and mental health services at Edison High School. The CSC is staffed by licensed mental health professionals and mental health practitioners who are supervised by board approved clinical supervisors. Students may be referred to the CSC due to emotions and behaviors that seem extreme or inhibit the student’s ability to be successful in school or at home. Services are provided at school during the school day or during out-of-school time in the community and in-home.  Telehealth is also a mode of services provided.  School staff can make referrals and parents can request services by contacting the Edison social workers. The CSC staff can also be reached directly at 612-668-1329. The site lead is Alyssa Wilson, MA and she can be reached directly at 651-336-6206.
