Student Wellness & Mental Health

Mental Health Support

At Strathmore High School, we believe that mental health is a vital part of student success. We understand that life can bring challenges, and no one has to face them alone.

If your student is struggling with stress, anxiety, emotional health, or other personal concerns, we encourage families to connect with our Counseling Office. Our team can help determine the right level of support and, when appropriate, make referrals to services such as Hazel Heart (our district’s virtual therapy partner) or other community-based mental health providers.

Please know that reaching out doesn’t mean something is wrong—it’s just one way we help students stay healthy, focused, and supported.

For more information or a confidential conversation, contact our Counseling Office.

• Stress, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed

• Sadness, low motivation, or mood changes

• Friendship or relationship challenges

• Difficulty managing emotions

Therapy sessions are confidential, safe, and free for students enrolled in PUSD. If you're interested in learning more or exploring whether Hazel Heart is the right fit, please contact the Counseling Office.
