Mental Health and Wellness

Social emotional wellness is the foundation of a student's academic and behavioral success. Our efforts to provide universal Social Emotional Learning for all students are complimented by targeted and individualized supports for students in need. Through our Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), we proactively cultivate social emotional skills and respond to students' mental health needs. In addition, we serve as the hub to an extensive network of world-class community partners. These efforts combine to create a comprehensive continuum of mental health and wellness supports in GESD.

Mental health and outreach services are offered to students through a behavioral tiered approach to interventions. This model progresses from providing support and intervention for all students to individualized support to specific students in greater need.

Grenada is fortunate to have a School Counselor. This program promotes social skill development, enhances self esteem among participating children, improves school attendance, promotes healthy practices, helps prevent drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse and enables children to get a good start in school.

We are pleased to offer our students and families school based counseling services for students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grades. GES believes in early prevention programs with the goal of violence prevention by intervening early and helping children to learn to respond in positive ways.  The activities help children to learn to name and express their feelings, to separate their feelings from thinking, to recognize and respect the feelings of others, and to choose appropriate behaviors.

Our counselor is on campus 4 days a week. Our counselor provides both academic and personal counseling. Staff make referrals and parent permission is required for participation. If you have questions or would like to see if counseling may help your child, please speak to or leave a message at school for the counselor to call and schedule an appointment.
