Welcome to Peninsula's Wellness Center

Peninsula High School offers students the unique privilege of a Wellness Center on campus. The Wellness Center support students and their families in effectively addressing various social and emotional concerns that may arise during school. This is in lieu of supporting all our students as full rounded individuals whose needs might be outside of strictly academic guidance. Students can utilize services on their own as well as may be referred by teachers, guidance counselors, parents, assistant principals, staff, and friends. 

In addition, several mental health helpers are placed on the school site to assist students as needed. Ultimately, students are best supported toward academic success through the utilization of this role. In order for students to take advantage of this program, please sign the enclosed consent form and have your student return it to the school. Our wellness staff have experience supporting youth and families in educational settings. In addition to crisis support, They provides our students with short-term, solutions focused therapy to help navigate the myriad of struggles they face.

The Wellness Center can be found across from the library. Come check out the new Wellness Center!
