Mental Health and Wellness
Are you seeking support or resources around mental health and wellness? The West Student Services team is here to help!
Every student at West has a student services team that includes their counselor, social worker, school psychologist, and nurse. Student counselor assignments are listed on line 9 of student schedules, and social worker/psychologist assignments are based on the student’s Smaller Learning Community. Our School Nurse is also available to assist with mental health support.
Students and families can always Contact Your Counselor as a starting point.
