Student Mental Health Teletherapy and Behavioural Support Services

The Gallup McKinley County Schools district in Gallup, New Mexico, is seeking student mental health teletherapy and behavioral support services to promote student wellness, resilience, engagement, and academic readiness. The agency is trying to solve the problem of limited student access to mental health resources by implementing comprehensive virtual therapeutic services designed to support emotional well-being and academic success. The project covers a contract period of one year. The scope of work requires the selected contractor to provide virtual individual counseling sessions for referred students using secure telehealth technology, as well as virtual group counseling sessions when appropriate and approved by the district. The contractor must match students with therapists based on identified student needs, age appropriateness, and service availability. Additionally, the contractor must support the development of coping strategies, resilience, self-advocacy, and social-emotional skills using evidence-based therapeutic practices appropriate for school-aged students. The contractor must also coordinate with district counseling staff, student success advisors, administrators, and other authorized support personnel. Bidders must meet the eligibility rule of being located onshore within the United States only. Although the services are virtual, the agency specifies that the performance of the work will be onsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is looking for proposal submissions to determine the budget. The agency will host a pre-bid conference on June 16, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 19, 2026.
