Welcome to the GMS Mental Health Resource Library

Hello ~ Welcome to the Gardner Middle School Mental Health Resource Library! We are glad you are here. Middle School is an amazing time of growth and development for children, but it is also a time when youth may experience emotional changes that are difficult to understand and explain, be exposed to varying degrees of peer pressures, and are exerting their independence in ways that may not match your expectations. As safe and trusted adults in their lives, it is our job to empathize with and validate their experiences, while providing safe and consistent boundaries in order to support their healthy development.

Our hope is that you use this resource library to find helpful information about issues that may be impacting your child. Use the "Home" tab to navigate through the topics. It is also very important that we understand the usefulness of this resource and that we do what we can do to improve the site. Please take a couple of minutes to take the quick Feedback Survey so that we can better understand your experience using the resource library.
