Student Mental Health Support
Are you struggling to focus or complete tasks? Are you often sad, anxious, frustrated or overwhelmed? These may be signs of anxiety, stress or depression--which can affect your well-being both in and out of the classroom. You are not alone.
Many students experience emotional and mental health challenges. Eaton RESA offers free, confidential support through behavior and mental health specialists who work directly with students at their school or, when appropriate, through telehealth.
If you have concerns about your mental health, talk to your school counselor to get connected to an Eaton RESA Behavioral Mental Health professional. Early support can make a lasting difference.
