Student Wellness

School Psychologist Andrew Campbell (right) will act as De La Salle’s mental health liaison. He will continue to coordinate and work with students, parents, and outside service providers to ensure appropriate social, emotional, and behavioral support is provided.

Mental & Social-Emotional Health

All students with pre-existing mental health services or academic support plans will be met on an individual basis by their counselor and our school psychologist. The Counseling Department will continue to serve our students with an open-door policy for student referrals. Teachers will be provided with referral forms for socially, emotionally, and behaviorally at-risk students to initiate counseling contact as quickly as possible. Teachers will receive new training on current academically at-risk referral forms to ensure that any and all students who may have fallen behind are supported through our Academic Support team programs. Staff will receive ongoing training and professional development on best practices for referral processes, trauma-informed approaches, self-care, and for working with students who have academic, social, emotional, or behavioral needs.

Counselors will continue to update parents through weekly and monthly newsletters. Resources and tips for parents will be provided through our weekly/monthly newsletters.
