Mental Health & Wellness

At Sierra Unified we believe that mental and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health, and we are committed to fostering a culture of support where every student feels valued. We want to normalize the conversation around mental health and assure our community that it is okay to ask for help. This page serves as a gateway to mental health and wellness resources for our students, families, and staff, offering valuable information on where and how to access confidential assistance. Whether you are looking for preventative tools, need to connect with a trusted adult, or are seeking immediate assistance, we are here to support our entire school community.
