Through a state grant, Revere High School will partner with North Suffolk Mental Health to deliver mental health and substance abuse services to students.
The Baker-Polito Administration made the announcement this week and the partnership between Revere High and North Suffolk is part of $4.9 million in grants awarded to six agencies in the state.
The state funding to treatment and behavioral health centers like North Suffolk will create evidence-based and data-driven substance use disorder/mental health response teams at Revere High.
These teams will be embedded in the high school in Revere and nine other communities to offer intervention and treatment services, and provide alternatives to school suspension for substance use.
