Wellness Center
The Helix Wellness Center is a place where students can go to feel safe and supported.
We have four full-time social workers and counselors and social work interns from SDSU School of Social Work. All are available to see students by appointment or walk-in. We are a safe and caring place for you, your friends or family members, because we all hit rough spots in the road and we don't have to walk alone.
Visting the Wellness Center:
The Wellness Center is a space for students to come and check-in with a Grade Level Social Worker or Counselor, learn more about mental health, and practice wellness strategies. We have Social Workers or Counselors assigned to each Grade Level Team that will follow your student through their four years on campus. The process for students visiting the Wellness Center is:
1. Ask for permission from your teacher for a wellness break.
2. Check in with the reception, Mrs. Hornbuckle, and complete a check-in form.
3. Wellness Center staff will assist you with what you need.
4. Mrs. Hornbuckle will sign you out and give you a pass back to class.
