Chemical Health
The supports available to students and families at Minnetonka High School (MHS) have been expanded to include chemical health services through a partnership with Relate Counseling Center, thanks, in part, to a grant from the Minnetonka Family Collaborative. Rachel Boehmke MS, LADC, LPCC, is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and is available during school hours Monday-Friday.
Rachel can take referrals through a variety of channels. A referral may come as a result of an on-campus violation, self-referral, from parents and teachers. The counseling staff and social workers provide a direct link to engaging students and parents with chemical health services. The student and Rachel together will determine a schedule that meets their needs. There is no cost to this service and insurance is not billed. If a higher level of intervention is necessary, Rachel will provide referrals and resources to better serve your individual needs.
If you have a non-emergency chemical health concern about yourself as a student or as a parent or caregiver, reach out to your child’s counselor or social worker for a referral to Rachel. Elizabeth Hummel is a School Social Worker and can consult with you as well for the best path for your concerns. Parents and caregivers can reach out to both Elizabeth and Rachel through the emails listed below.
