A Unique Resource
Everett Middle School is proud to be able to provide our students with a Wellness Center, modeled after our High School Wellness Center initiatives. Our Wellness Center is fortunate to have the following staff:
-
2 full-time School Social Workers
-
Academic Counselors
-
part-time Nurse
-
part-time Master's level interns
Students and staff alike use the facility to engage in Restorative Circles, or to continue the advocacy work of our Gay-Straight Alliance. The space also provides confidential, private one-on-one therapy sessions.
Ask any student how valuable the Wellness Center is to our site and you'll be sure to hear a whole litany of reasons beyond this description.
