Student Wellness
High school is a time of personal, social, academic and emotional growth.
To help students build resilience, as well as time management and coping techniques, our counseling department offers workshops, tools and advice to students as they find their authentic selves and strengthen their social-emotional skills. Programming emphasizes the practice and patience needed to help students learn to prioritize their well-being and manage their busy lives.
The Program
Class Level Workshops
Student Wellness is built into our advisory curriculum, with each workshop tackling a different topic relevant to each grade level.

Bring Change 2 Mind Mental Health Club
Pres is one of over 100 high schools with a BC2M student-led club on campus. Bring Change 2 Mind’s high school program gives teens a platform to share their voices and to raise awareness around mental health. Our goal is to empower students to educate one another and their communities, and to create a culture of peer support within their schools. Together, we’ll fight the stigma around mental illness.
