WMHS Student Weekly Information
May 1 - May 5
From the Principal's Desk
Zebra Nation,
Happy month of May!
May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and in WWCS… Mental Health Matters! Staff and students, please join us in raising awareness by wearing GREEN every Friday during the Month of May.
A reminder for our school community, Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential service provided by the Wayne-Westland Community School District. This service is FREE to students, families and staff. Care Solace helps connect individuals to mental health or substance abuse providers by locating a therapist that meets their specific needs. Note: Care Solace is not a crisis line. They will call providers for you, verify insurance, and even help you make an appointment. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:
Call 888-515-0595. Support is available 24/7/365 in any language.
Visit caresolace.com/wwcsd and search yourself or click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.
Care Solace is not a crisis service. If you or a loved one are experiencing an emotional crisis or thoughts of suicide, support is available. The National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provide free, confidential support and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
For those experiencing a suicidal crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by calling or texting 988 on your phone, or visit 988lifeline.org/chat/ to chat with a trained mental health professional, who can provide help.
Lots of important updates and information in this week's communication. Please make sure to stay updated.
Have a great week!
There is no school for students this Wednesday, as the staff has a professional development day.
