Teacher & Staff Resources

  • If a student approaches you asking for help or begins showing signs requiring adult intervention, use the following information to connect them with our program.

    • Help is available no matter what they’re experiencing.
    • Seeking help does NOT mean they are weak.
    • What they’re experiencing is VALID and NORMAL.

    • It’s free: They won’t have to pay a thing. Let’s take the cost out of the equation so we can focus on them.
    • It’s confidential: We're here for the student so they can share what they’re going through when it feels like no one else will listen.
    • It’s personal: No two stories are alike, because no two people are the same. We’ll meet the student wherever they are on their journey and tailor our approach to best suit their needs. It's normal to not feel normal, but they don't have to do it alone.

    • TEXT: SMUSD to 741741 to get immediate and confidential help. They’ll be guided by a wellness advocate who can provide guidance and facilitate a plan that suits their unique needs.
    • TALK: Prefer to talk it out? Students can reach out to a counselor, or speak to a trusted adult on campus, who can provide guidance and facilitate a plan that suits their needs.
    • CALL: If this is a mental health emergency, don’t wait! Call 988 immediately.

  • The word 'caresolac' in white text on a purple background.
