The Wellness Center is your place for growth, self discovery and connection! It is a great place to talk to someone if you need to talk. It’s also a great place if you want to learn about well being and things that affect your well being. There are several awesome guided activities that can help you learn about emotional regulation, your values, healthy habits, communication and so much more! There are also relaxing places to sit and take a deep breath. 

Objectives of The Wellness Center

  • Safe space for students to regulate their emotions either on their own or with guidance/support

  • A comfortable place for students to relate to Wellness Center staff and each other

  • Provide resources to the community and other supports, in a compassionate and respectful manner

  • Support site staff for student mental health and well-being queries, social-emotional learning opportunities, and general school-community well being 

  • The Wellness Center is not a hang-out spot for someone who “doesn’t want to go to class,” but can be a helpful resource to support a student’s readiness to learn 

  • The goal is always to support regulation and return to class as efficiently as possible.
