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 might be impacting 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 that can help students work through difficult situations, promote personal growth and help them make better choices during their high school experience.

The Wellness Center opened its doors at CHS in August 2022 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.
