The GWHS Wellness Center is available for students and the school community. Our services are free, voluntary and confidential. Students decide if they would like to access services, and Wellness does not share their personal information unless there are concerns for the student's safety and well-being (i.e., self-harm, harm to others, or someone is harming the youth).
You can connect with us for several reasons including: jobs, therapy services, health information, field trips, and more!
Our core team consists of the Wellness Coordinator, Wellness Nurse, Community Health Outreach Worker (CHOW), and 2 full-time therapists from RAMS. In addition, we have several trained counseling and nursing interns that support our center throughout the school year.
If you're a student and want to get involved, we also have our amazing Youth Outreach Workers (YOWs) who help represent Wellness services by leading class presentations and various interactive health promotion events throughout the school year.
WE CARE!
*Please contact the Wellness Coordinator at: garciav@sfusd.edu or the Community Health Outreach Worker: youns@sfusd.edu if you need to consult.
