Mental Health Support

Resources Designed to Help Students Thrive

We proudly partner with the Cook Center for Human Connection, a nonprofit with a mission to bring together the best organizations, programs, and products to prevent suicide, provide mental health support, and enhance human connections essential for people to thrive. Through this partnership, we offer a variety of mental health services and support to our students, including:  

  • ParentGuidance.org courses, which offer valuable information and application practices to parents covering topics ranging from child anxiety and depression to bullying, social media, addiction, and more. 

  • Ask-A-Therapist, a tool that gives caregivers the opportunity to receive answers to their anonymous questions by licensed therapists, as well as explore answers to questions posed by other parents. 

  • Coaching, available for parents, caregivers, guardians, and district staff, includes weekly 30-minute virtual coaching sessions with a trained and qualified coach, a curriculum app, and text messaging for on-demand support.

  • Teen-focused resources, including an animated series focused on some of the most difficult issues that young people deal with today: bullying, depression, abuse, discrimination, and trauma. The animated series also includes downloadable lesson materials for classroom and home support.
