Wellness Center
Here, students can access a range of services aimed at supporting their physical, mental, and emotional health. Join us to discover how our wellness initiatives can enhance your educational experience.
Who we are
We wanted to create a space that was warm, open, and helpful for families and students. A place where all questions can be answered, resources can be easily accessed, and wellness was at the center of it all. You are always welcome to come and speak to our School Social Workers to discuss any of these resources in further detail or if you need assistance navigating the site and finding information.
​
The Cougar Wellness Center is staffed by two full time social workers and support students and families of Steele Canyon High in a variety of ways. We can support our Steel Canyon Community with any social/emotional needs they may have, mental health services, and connect you to a various community based resources.
