Mental Health Impacts All of Us
Mental health impacts not only our students but our families, schools, and communities.
One in five children struggle, or at some point in their life will struggle, with their mental health.
Half of all mental-health and substance-use conditions start before age 14.
Approximately one in five students who could benefit from additional mental-health supports does not get them.
Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you're thriving.
School Resources
Our team offers a safe place for students to discuss issues involving their social and academic development.
