Welcome to the Carmel High School Wellness Center!
The Wellness Center is an on-campus resource to assist students with managing socio-emotional challenges that could impact learning, social functioning, and academic life. We believe each student has the potential to experience emotional wellness and resilience, and sometimes support is needed to promote positive school functioning.
Our team wants to offer a safe and supportive environment to help students work through difficult situations, promote personal growth, and help them make positive choices during their high school experience
Students can come by for appointments, decompression time, or crisis support. We are located in portable B.
During your first visit at the Wellness Center you will meet with one of the mental health service providers for an orientation about our services and check-in.
Need an appointment? Please complete the Student Consultation Form to request a meeting.
Make sure you have the Student Square app on your phone to get appointment reminders and messages or if you want to reach out to our team.

The Wellness Center opened its doors at CHS in August 2021 to acknowledge the emotional challenges facing the youth in the community and the impact COVID-19 had on students' mental health.
We want to recognize the role CUSD leadership, community advocacy and CHS administration have in advancing student socio-emotional wellness and supporting the presence of the Wellness Center on campus.
