Keystone Community Services

We are first and foremost a spiritual community that tries to help nourish people's hearts, souls, minds, and bodies with the resources we have available.

When we are unable to meet someone's needs, we primarily partner with Keystone Community Services:

Intensive Case Management
Keystone provides comprehensive case management services for students and their families. Community social workers offer families support while helping them achieve family functioning goals. Services are offered to families with students in the Mounds View, Roseville, North St. Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale, and White Bear Lake school districts. Please not that services are also available to parents with children enrolled in pre-school services (Help Me Grow, ECFE)
For families with children in the Roseville school District: Parents please contact their child's school social worker for a referral to Keystone. The school social worker and Keystone Community Social Worker will determine if a referral for intensive case management is appropriate.
