Mental Health Support

We are operating in uncharted territory right now that nobody could have possibly imagined. As your school counselor, I want 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.

I am here to support you. There are many people in our community who want to support you, too.

Don't forget to breathe.
