Strategic Plan

Improving mental health, supporting school attendance and performance, and building community resiliency and protective factors in our communities are critical needs in Le Sueur County. In recognition of this, the Collaborative included these in its Strategic Plan. This plan will be refined as needs, strengths, resources, and viability of the goals become understood. We look forward to providing solutions that support well-being families and generations to come.
