Wellness: Student Services / Mental Health Resources

Mental Health Resources

We know that our students cannot learn when their brains are over stressed. We encourage students to meet with the Wilson RCSD counselors, psychologists and social workers. When students and families need more support, we also can provide links to community services and private practitioners.

Private Therapist Referrals

If you would like a referral to a private therapist in the Rochester area please contact your student’s counselor, social worker or psychologist. We will give you names of a few different therapists who may match your needs.
