Welcome to our wellness resources center.

Mental Health Resources

Reach out to your counselor for support. During weekends or after school hours when your counselor is not available, there are resources to support you. Access the links below for community resources related to searchable topics such as grief, loss, coping with stress, anxiety, and depression. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, call 9-1-1. If you or someone you care about needs resources and is not in crisis, search the community resources below.
