A pilot program was initiated by a rural community mental health center in which staff went into the local junior and senior high schools to provide personal-problem-oriented counseling services to students. Results of the program suggest that students perceived their problems as serious, that they found counseling interventions helpful, that they favorably perceived referral to a mental health professional, and that students desired the availability of such services within the school environment on a regular basis. Conceptual and service-delivery issues are discussed within the context of a preliminary model for mental health-public school collaboration in the delivery of counseling services to students in rural areas. Suggestions for future research are noted.
