Student Resources

Crisis Information

you may be feeling the pressure, especially since you are spending so much time at home. Whether you’re worried about family situations, COVID, your online classes, or wondering when you'll get to see your friends, know that you’re not the only one feeling this way and that you can get through this. If it feels like you can’t, please reach out and talk to someone about it—you don’t have to handle this on your own. Although schools are not open for in-person learning yet, know that our school community is here to support you, but we understand if you’d rather talk to someone your own age. The Peer Counselors at Teen Lifeline know what you’re going through and are trained to help, so reach out to them by calling or texting the hotline number on the back of your student ID. Remember, in the time of uncertainty, you are not alone. We want to remind you that due to school closures, Teen Lifeline's texting hours have been expanded. Teen Lifeline is also available to parents and other adults who are in need of resources for their children. The following are our new hotline hours.

  • TeenLifeline- Maricopa County 602-248-8336 (TEEN), Statewide in AZ 800-248-8336,

· Calling remains available 24/7.

· Texting available extended hours 12pm-9pm on weekdays and 3pm-9pm on weekends.

· Peer counselors are still available from 3pm to 9pm every day.
