Mission

In order to improve the wellbeing and educational outcomes for all students, the Canyon Wellness Center will  support students through the promotion of social-emotional awareness, delivery of designated behavioral supports, and by responding with appropriate  interventions for the benefit of the whole school community.

History of the Wellness Center at Canyon

In July 2018, a dedicated team of staff members began planning and developing the Wellness Center at Canyon Middle School. Over the next couple of years, the original space was thoughtfully designed, painted, and furnished to create a warm, supportive environment that students would come to know and love.

However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, plans were abruptly put on hold, and most student support services transitioned to an online format.

As students and staff gradually returned to in-person learning, the demand for wellness and mental health support remained stronger than ever. To meet these growing needs, the Wellness Center relocated to a much larger space at the start of the 2024-25 school year. This expanded space allows us to better serve our students, collaborate with community mental health partners, and introduce additional programming to further promote student well-being.
