Mental Health and Wellness

There are three counselor positions that are at risk. By donating to this campaign, you will support these incredibly important counselor positions that we might lose by May 15, 2020.

Counselors are essential to the success of our students, not just in school but also in life. Mental health and wellness has become such an integral part of every student's journey through SMUSD Each student, especially high school students, learn invaluable coping and mental health skills that will push them towards success. Without the proper amount of counselors, our students will not have the same opportunities to learn the social and emotional skills they need. Will you help make sure that we don't lose these 3 positions by donating to the Mental Health and Wellness campaign?
