We're nearing the end of the semester for high school students in Minnesota. It's a time when social groups are solidified, finals are coming up, and stressors are starting to catch up to some students.

While the majority of schools have mental health services, there are still many gaps. Nonprofit mental health workers are teaming up with public schools to make sure students have the support they need.

Minnesota Now checked in with one as the semester comes to a close. Nicholas Karlstad is a youth peer support specialist with Know The Truth for middle and high schools in Chisago County. He shared more about his work with host Nina Moini.
