Support Resources for Students and Families

Stress and Depresssion are REAL

If there is a time when you feel overwhelmed by stress, you are not alone; it is practically a fact of life for everyone at one time or another. A little stress can be good if it motivates you, but if it wears you down, stress can start having negative effects on your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Depression is longer lasting than stress and is often more serious. Depression often requires help from experts. The good news is that depression is a highly treatable condition. However, it is not something that you can always handle by yourself, so it is important to reach out for help.

If you, or anyone you know, starts to feel overwhelmed for any reason, please remember that you family would want to help you! It is important to talk to someone instead of trying to handle everything on your own. There are many people to turn to right here at school. Please reach out to your counselor, teacher, nurse, principal, or any trusted adult.

Additionally, to the right you will find some other excellent resources to help you, a friend, or loved one seek help in coping with stress and/or depression.
