Support Services

At MBLI, we believe that every student deserves a safe, supportive, and thriving environment to learn and grow. We will ensure that students and families have access to the resources they need—both inside and outside the classroom.

We provide assistance in the following areas:

  • Mental Health Supports – Counseling, crisis intervention, and connections to licensed providers.

  • Reporting Concerns – Guidance for reporting abuse, neglect, or unsafe situations.

  • Basic Needs – Support for families experiencing changes in housing, food insecurity, or other essential needs.

  • Community Connections – Referrals to community-based services, including health, social services, and youth development programs.

  • Academic & School Support – Resources for students navigating challenges that may impact learning or attendance.
