Mental Health and Wellness

 

National School Counseling Week 2025 (Feb 3-7), sponsored by ASCA, highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week celebrates the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. The theme this year is: School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive.

We thank our school counselors for their contributions to our students and school communities. School counselors help students succeed in school while encouraging them to set healthy goals, mindsets, and behaviors. School counselors help students in more ways than you may know and have a huge impact on our entire school community.

Take a moment to thank our DJUSD school counselors and show how much they are appreciated!
