Mental Health

It is important to always be aware of one's social, emotional, mental, and physical well being.  There are many life situations that may result in one or more of the above areas from being in one's ideal comfort zone and this may prompt a person to seek assistance.  Students should understand that school counselors, teachers, and other school staff are available to help.  Reaching out to others should not be viewed as a sign of weakness, in fact, most consider it an act of strength.  

In an effort to make mental health resources more readily available, the School District of Hillsborough County created the following informational webpage: http://wish.mysdhc.org/

For a thorough list of local resources divided into area of need visit the links below:
Community Resource Guide in English
Community Resource Guide in Spanish

In addition, the Hillsborough County Resource Guide details programs and services for children and families. 

What to do if a friend or family member is in a crisis: A.C.T.
