About Me

My name is Samantha Beeson and I am the Counseling and Support Coordinator for Neosho School District.  My position originated when the district recognized a need for additional coordination between the schools and our community resources.  I work with students and families individually, as well as facilitating Youth Mental Health First Aid, suicide prevention, coordinating community events, serve on multidisciplinary teams, and function as a liaison with outside agencies.  

If you believe you may have a need I can assist with, contact me or your student's School Counselor.


May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

The 988 Lifeline is for people who are in crisis or people who are supporting others in crisis.  It is free, anonymous, and staffed with trained professionals 24/7.
