In acknowledgement of Mental Health Awareness Month, we have an opportunity to break the stigma around mental health in our campus by talking openly, compassionately, and kindly to each other. No one should ever struggle alone.
School staff are the backbone of student well-being, but remember that you also can’t pour from an empty cup.
If you, a family member, a student or a student family member wants to be connected to a mental health care provider, contact Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential mental health care coordination service provided by Saline Area School District:
- Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365.
- Visit www.caresolace.com/
salineschools and either search on your own OR click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.
Don’t hesitate to ask for help, use the resources around you, and never give up hope.
