The Wellness Center

With a pass from your teacher, you can visit Wellness during school hours to take a break. We are device-free; however, we have many activities such as crosswords or coloring pages. That way students can be more intentional about their self-care and get a digital detox at the same time.

Located right outside of the Wellness Center we have two grab and go carts. They are free for anyone to grab. Take as much as you need.

1. Fruit and Tea [Rotating daily]
2. Wellness Cart [Pads, Tampons, Condoms, Bandages]

DROP IN

• Drop-In Services are a one time service if students need to vent, process or destress about anything bothering them. (This is prevalent for students who are in immediate need.)

• Students do need a Wellness pass from their teacher. 

• Drop-In 'Times' vary depending on our clinicians' availability.

ONGOING THERAPY

• Our mental health clinicians support continuous and confidential therapy throughout the school year that fits students' needs.
  • You do not need a mental health disorder to qualify for therapy.
• Some of the ways our clinicians support students is through group therapy, individual or support groups.

Along with the Wellness Center having pads, period underwear, and condoms readily available for students, the Lowell Wellness Center can help students make a confidential clinic appointment at any Teen Clinics within the city.

• Please drop by Room 118 to set up an appointment or if there are any questions.
