Since the mandated closing of schools in March of 2020, the school division’s Office of School Psychology and School Counseling have compiled lists of mental health resources for staff and families to access on the division’s website. The “Here to Help” webpage has been updated and redesigned to provide even more digital resources as well as information on where families in need can receive one-on-one support. On the Here to Help website, families will find guides on how to have conversations at home in dealing with feelings of isolation, anxiety or depression. They also can learn more about how to connect with mental health professionals. For example, though schools are not in session, school counselors continue to be available for sessions with students who need to talk to someone.
