CAMPOLINDO WELLNESS CENTER

NEW: NEW WELLNESS CENTER MEMBER
Please join us in welcoming Sofia Eduardo to the Wellness Center team!  Ms. Eduardo has worked in several school-based programs, mentoring high school students in applying for scholarship opportunities and building confidence as they transitioned from high school to college. She continues to support students by fostering an understanding of the importance of mental health, particularly within the school setting. Ms. Eduardo is passionate about empowering students with the tools and support they need to navigate personal and academic challenges. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel connected to resources that can help them thrive.

SUICIDE PREVENTION & AWARENESS MONTH
September is Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month, a time to recognize the important role families and schools play in supporting student well-being. One of the most effective methods of preventing suicide is through open, non-judgmental conversations about mental health which help students feel heard and supported. When teens feel valued at home, at school, and in their community, they are more likely to reach out for help. Reducing stigma and ensuring access to professional mental health services further strengthen our ability to care for every student.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for immediate support or use the anonymous Say Something App. To learn more about teen suicide prevention, you can check out this article from the Mayo Clinic.

WELLNESS CENTER RESOURCES
If your student is experiencing difficulty with grief and loss, do not hesitate to reach out to Wellness, school counselors, or administrators. You can also access resources HERE and through the Contra Costa Crisis Center.
