Important MHAP Updates
Due to changes in funding, the following updates to the Mental Health Access Program (MHAP) will take place in the spring and summer of 2025.
- As of April 21st all MHAP referrals will be done by Kevin Mossel (even in secondary schools with a school-based clinician). This is because families referred for services to MHAP providers will NOT be authorized for $900 of services and we will be using new “end of year” forms and process to reflect this change.
- The District will no longer be paying for MHAP services over the summer. MHAP services authorized will be covered through the end of the school year. After June 6, students and families will be transitioning to insurance or other forms of payment for services. Please do not set an expectation with students and their families that funds are available for services throughout the summer.
- No new MHAP referrals will be accepted after Friday, May 16th, 2025. Kevin will follow up with families referred up until May 16th.
If you have any questions, please reach out to McKinley Withers (mckinley.withers@jordandistrict.org, 88245) or Kevin Mossel (kevin.mossel@jordandistrict.org).
