Mental Health Initiatives and Support

Wayne-Westland Community Schools strives to create a safe and positive student environment. To meet the needs of our students, we have increased our mental health initiatives and support.  

• We have a comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. 
• Our mental health professionals (social workers, psychologists, and counselors) are proactive in monitoring and assisting students with their mental health well being. 
• We have a school-based health clinic that provides mental health counseling to our students. 
• Our staff is trained in QPR suicide prevention methods and, if needed, they conduct threat assessments to determine if a student is at risk to self or others. 
• Our Family Resource Center offers resources for mental health support.

Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. 

These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others.

Wayne-Westland Community Schools has partnered with Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential service provided to students, staff, and their families. Care Solace’s team is available 24/7/365 and can support you in any language.
