Mental Wellness Through Spring Break
As we enter spring break, we want to highlight mental wellness and provide contacts for available support 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Our student's social and emotional well being is a top priority and we're thankful to you for partnering with us to be a healthy learning community.
All students heard a supportive message from Mr. Farley reminding students to ask for help if they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis. These slides, highlighting mental health tips and resources have been emailed to all students to reference over break. As a reminder, the following resources were shared:
- Anoka County Mobile Crisis Response Service, 763-755-3801.
- Hennepin County Mobile Crisis, Children (up to 18): 612-348-2233, Adults (18+): 612-596-1223
- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 988 or Chat 988lifeling.org/chat. For Spanish speakers, call: 1-888-628-9454. Tele-Interpreters are available to connect to crisis centers supporting over 240 languages.
- Call 911 if you or someone else is in immediate, physical danger.
Thank you for partnering with us on these critically important matters of mental wellness. We wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy and happy Spring Break.
