MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

We believe it is important to address any need that your child might have that affects success both in and out of school. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Many adolescents experience issues that may require assistance beyond what you as a parent or the school guidance team can provide. Working together, families have been very successful at finding help in the resources listed below to provide your child with support and encouragement in school and in.
