Welcome to our Mental Health and Wellness Hub! Below is a collection of resources that we hope you find helpful in supporting your mental health and wellness needs. This is a safe space for you to find out more about concerns or situations you might be experiencing.  

Each Resource Center serves as an information hub for available school-based mental health supports.  You may contact your student’s teacher or assigned counselor and inquire about those supports available. We are here for you! 

If you are thinking about harming yourself or attempting suicide:

– Call 911 if you’re in immediate danger.

– Call 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, for free and confidential support.

Highlights of our mental health program include (1) teachers who are specially trained in suicide screening, trauma-informed practices, human trafficking prevention, and socio-emotional learning; (2) strategic partnerships with community organizations to provide mental health services; (3) a team of school nurses; (4) a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; (5) a Healthy Youth Department that coordinates student webinars and professional learning to support students’ mental health and wellness; (6) student webinars with socio-emotional learning through our Resilience in Students and Education (RISE) series; (7) suicide prevention, intervention and postvention protocols; (8) tools for connecting students and families to information resources; (9) parent/guardian webinars through our Family Learning Series on student mental health, wellness, and community resources; and (10) administration of special programs and coordination of services for identified student groups.
