SF Wellness Programs

The San Francisco Wellness Programs is a groundbreaking program dedicated to improving the health, well-being and academic success of the city’s public middle and high school students at 35 campuses. 

In safe, confidential settings, experts in adolescent health at onsite Wellness Centers help teens gain the skills they need to cope with complex issues such as stress, trauma, suicide, bullying, depression, self-esteem, drug and alcohol use, sexual health and relationships. Students learn positive, lifelong habits that contribute to their overall health, well-being and academic success, and ultimately, to the health of the communities in which they live.

The Wellness Program is the only school-based program for adolescent health and wellness of its kind. This is made possible through a unique partnership between the San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF), the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH), the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and private donors. By leveraging the resources of each agency, student health is addressed from a citywide perspective.
