The LT Counseling Department identified the need to provide an additional safe space in the school for students who are experiencing emotional distress. The purpose of the Wellness Center is to offer students the opportunity to utilize coping skills and strategies to mitigate their symptoms of distress. This will be a safe space to learn new skills, practice them and then return to class. We will utilize evidence based strategies to support the students. We are currently in year 2 of this adventure and will be reviewing the data from the past year. We want to share what we have learned, what has worked well, what needs to be tweaked.
