Mental Health and Wellness
- Students are welcome to request appointments to get help with academic, college/ career, and personal/social issues or questions.
- We are always available when students are in crisis, are having a panic attack, or need mental health support.
- We run a year-round Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills group. DBT skills are helpful for all teenagers and even more so for those who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-injury and suicidal ideation.

- We have started a partnership with the University of Michigan Depression Center to run two rounds of 8-week Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) groups. These groups are targeted to teens who suffer from depression, anxiety, or both.
