MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
According to mentalhealth.gov: Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
We care about your mental health, the mental health of our staff, and our students. That's why we have created this page to provide resources for anyone looking for mental health help or information.
