Health and Wellness

The school counseling program is designed to provide students and families with a range of supportive services, including referrals to community agencies. The counseling center provides a safe, supportive environment where students can go to discuss a variety of issues from depression, grief, self-esteem, homelessness, foster care, substance use disorders, disabilities, mental illness, family life and stress to dating violence, gender identify and health issues. Students can get help and recognize that there is no stigma associated with mental health, substance abuse, gender identity, or other supportive services. School and community crisis intervention resources are updated annually and made available to students and families. Through on-campus programs and community-based partnerships, students receive counseling and other support services for the purpose of maximizing student engagement and success.

Peer tutors are slightly older students who have been selected for the program by school counselors. Tutors receive training in how to support younger students in their academics and in developing a productive youth-to-youth relationship. Peer tutoring takes place during the school day and is supervised by school counselors.
