Mental Health Resources
At Davis Intermediate School, we are committed to supporting the mental health, wellness, and success of every student. We recognize that emotional well-being plays an important role in academic achievement, healthy relationships, and overall development. Through a combination of on-campus supports and partnerships with trusted community organizations, we strive to create a safe, caring, and responsive environment where students and families can access the help they need.
Our school offers a range of mental health and wellness resources designed to support students socially, emotionally, and academically. These services include school counseling, school social work, crisis intervention, restorative practices, wellness activities, and connections to mental health providers. In collaboration with community partners, we are able to expand access to counseling services, family support programs, crisis response, and additional resources that meet the diverse needs of our students and families here at Davis.
We encourage students and families to explore the resources available on this page and reach out for support whenever needed!
