Supporting Student Success Through Mental Health and Wellness

Magnifying Class over mental health graphic

As part of our commitment to developing well-rounded students, we know that positive mental health and wellness are essential components to lifelong success and happiness. We also know that by embracing a positive or growth mindset students can better manage challenges in a productive way. The neuroscience and data behind this approach reaffirms that students, who embrace mistakes as part of the learning process, succeed at higher levels both academically and personally. 

 

Therefore, IUSD takes a comprehensive approach, focusing our mental health and wellness efforts on both proactive and responsive programs, initiatives and supports for students. Through our work, we strive to help students cultivate the skills necessary to meet academic and personal challenges with perseverance, resiliency and adaptability, while in times of adversity helping students to seek and access supports and services when needed.
