The Mental Health & Wellness Center provides a safe and supportive environment in the school setting where students can discuss a variety of topics in a confidential, nonjudgmental space. The center is staffed with mental health professionals who are dedicated to improving the health, well being, and educational outcomes of all students. Through on-campus programming and community-based partnerships, Oak Grove students will receive opportunities to engage in individual or group counseling, wellness activities, engage with supportive adult staff members and linkages if desired to other support services to maximize student engagement and success.

The Mental Health & Wellness Center is staffed with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Social Work Associates and Interns, and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to address issues that may be interfering with the ability to be academically successful in school and improve student wellbeing.
