Mental Health Resources

Mental health is important! Hand holding a note that says, 'It's okay to not be Okay.'

Especially now as we are living through a pandemic. There will, of course, be times that we are feeling down, but sometimes we need help to get back to a place that feels good again. 

Some reasons you may need to reach out to someone for help: 

  • I want to share how great I did on an assessment
  • I need help getting organized- remote learning feels overwhelming
  • I could use some assistance completing a project
  • My friend and I had a disagreement
  • I am feeling very down and my routine has changed
  • I am feeling isolated- I need to connect 

  • I don’t have anyone that I feel comfortable talking to at home

You can reach out to any adult in school but know that MAELS has a special team of people who are here to help you when you need them:
