Brookfield High School

Welcome, students and families!

Most of us have read or seen stories on the youth mental health crisis plaguing our country.

Adolescence is already a confusing time without the added fears our students have experienced over the last couple of years – so we shouldn’t be surprised that the rates of anxiety, depression, suicide, and other mental health conditions are on the rise.

Many students will exhibit symptoms of depression and anxiety as they return to the classroom, and it is important to let kids and teens know that support is available.

Serious signs that someone is in crisis and needs help, such as thoughts or plans of hurting oneself or another person, should be addressed promptly. If you think a child or teen is in immediate danger of taking suicidal action, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. This resource is available 24/7. Its trained crisis counselors can help you find local resources or suggest next steps.

As always, please know that we are here to partner with you to support a happy and healthy school year!
