Whittier Union High School District
Student Well-Being Program
The mission of our SWB Program is to promote healthy and resilient students by providing a comprehensive school-based mental health program. We stress the total development of each student, incorporating emotional, physical, social, and intellectual well-being.
Our Student Well-Being Program, which provides comprehensive mental health services, originated in 2006 and has a successful history of increasing and attending to the socio-emotional needs of students in the Whittier Union High School District. It has received recognition from several awards, including the 2013 California School Boards Association Golden Bell Award.
The goals of the Student Well-Being Program are:
Address mental health issues impairing student health and wellness
Increase student academic achievement
Provide support to school staff to help students succeed
Provide support to families to help their student succeed
If you are in crisis and need immediate support, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
