Welcome to the Carmel High School Wellness Center!
The Wellness Center is an on-campus resource to assist students with managing socio-emotional challenges that could impact learning, social functioning, and academic life. We believe each student has the potential to experience emotional wellness and resilience, and sometimes support is needed to promote positive school functioning.
Our team wants to offer a safe and supportive environment to help students work through difficult situations, promote personal growth, and help them make better choices during their high school experience.
Services provided by the Wellness Team are voluntary, short-term school-based interventions to support the student’s functioning in the school setting by addressing mental health needs impacting academic and social domains on campus. Our services are offered during school hours during the academic school year.
