Student Mental Health Support

We want every student to feel supported, connected and cared for. Mental health is an important part of overall well-being, and there are times when everyone can use a little extra support. The resources below can connect students and families with support at school and in our community.

Mental Health Support Specialists

Each secondary school has a dedicated Student Mental Health Support Specialist. They are here to assist you by providing group and individual support services. They are here to listen, help you navigate support systems, and help you move toward the change you are seeking.

Student Mental Health Support Professionals can help students and/or caregivers understand helpful community resources and learn new ways to cope with student mental health struggles. When it is appropriate, they can work with a student and their family so that they can better communicate and can hear each other’s wants and needs.
