Wellness & Mental Health Supports
During this time of change and challenge, each one of us are doing our best, every day. Most of us are experiencing uncertainty and stress. With so much we can't control, it is essential that we take action where we can to take care of ourselves and those around us.
Don't forget to be compassionate with yourself and others.
This page has some helpful links as well as contacts for a crisis. These resources are for students, families and staff to help themselves and each other and to make connections to additional supports.
Each school has a Coordination of Service Team (COST) to provide support services to all District students. If you would like some additional support for your student, please reach out to your school's Principal or your school's COST Coordinator.
Please take care of yourself and your household and follow public health guidance to protect yourself, your family and all vulnerable members of our community.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, poses an immediate threat to themselves or others, or is being hurt by someone, call 911 for immediate help.
