Mental Health Supports
We are operating in uncharted territory right now that nobody could have possible imagined or prepared for. Your Calexico Unified School District (CUSD) wants you to know that your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. You might feel scared, confused, overwhelmed, angry, alone, grateful, or completely calm. You might feel many things at once, like being upset that an event was cancelled, but happy that you can wear pajamas all day. Your feelings are normal; the situation is not.
Don't forget to breathe.
This Virtual Calming Rooms are a place for students, staff and families to find tools and strategies for managing emotions and feelings. We are here to support you!
