Mental Health Services
Mental Health awareness is still at a low today. Stigma is still high in the United Stated alone and the communities it withholds. And as most things begin, stigma begins when we're young. This stigma leads to untreated illnesses or trauma that sometimes can get passed down to future generations.
West High is now taking the reigns to empower and encourage our student to seek help and open up. We want to fight the stigma and bring relief to our students and their mental health. These are some of the available resources we have for our students.
If you think you or someone you care for is facing a mental health emergency, call 911. Please do not attempt to access emergency care through this site.
