The Wellness Center is a program dedicated to supporting the social, emotional, and behavioral well-being of all students on the AHS campus, their families, and our staff.
We are the first on-site, full time, professionally staffed Wellness Center in SLO County! AUSD is proud of the work the The Wellness does for our students, families, and staff.
The Wellness Center focuses on three main areas:
1. Student Support Services:
The Wellness Center provides a safe, supportive environment on the AHS campus where students can go to discuss a variety of issues. It also is a place where students can gather to socialize, hold club meetings, and participate in special events.
2. Stigma Reduction & Awareness Campaigns:
The Wellness Center is dedicated to raising awareness of behavioral and mental health issues related to young people. The Wellness Center plans and implements campaigns to address mental health stigma reduction, bullying, suicide prevention, wellness promotion, parent/student education about the adolescent brain, embracing acceptance of differences, etc.
The AHS Gender and Sexualities Association (GSA) meets weekly in the Wellness Center to provide support and promote inclusion for all.
3. Behavioral Health Career Pathways:
The Wellness Center provides guest speakers, field trips, and forums to educate students about the variety of career choices within the behavioral health field. These events are held during accessible times and any AHS student can elect to attend.
The Wellness Center is more than a physical location; it is a haven, a state of mind, an ideal for growth and positive change.
