Cameron's Collection
Supporting teen mental health and wellness
Newbury Park High School offers support for our students' mental health and wellness with eBooks
Newbury Park High School provides students, teachers, and parents 24/7 unlimited simultaneous access to content related to sensitive teen issues from the privacy of the Gale eBooks on the GVRL platform and their own devices.
The collection of eBooks is named in honor of Cameron Gallagher. She was a bright, talented girl battling depression and anxiety whose dream was to raise awareness and to help erase the stigma about the topic. At the age of 16, she suddenly passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition. Her legacy and efforts live on through the Cameron K. Gallagher (CKG) Foundation (ckgfoundation.org).
Cameron's Collection offers content on issues related to teen mental health and wellness, with topics that include: teen depression, anxiety, stress, suicide, self-injury, bullying and more. It also includes targeted resources and guidance about how friends, teachers and family members can provide support to those struggling. Articles can be saved or shared, and the books can be translated. Each book contains additional resources, including information on getting professional help.
