The San Mateo Union High School District has partnered with the Peninsula Health Care District and Stanford University to implement an expanded mental health program. Each site has at least 3 wellness counselors to provide counseling, consultation, professional development, parent engagement, and crisis intervention/postvention to students on site. Additionally, each site includes a Lead Wellness Counselor, providing an additional level of support, including supporting site wellness counselors, participation on the site leadership teams and building capacity for various levels and types of interventions.
Burlingame High School is proud to offer students access to three full-time Wellness Counselors on campus. The Wellness Counselors offer drop-in support and short-term intervention for students facing social and emotional challenges that impact academic performance, attendance, and behavior at school.
In a safe and supporting environment, students can meet with a Wellness Counselor to discuss a variety of complex issues such as stress, trauma, suicide, depression, anxiety, harassment, bullying, grief, self-esteem, family life, drug and alcohol use, relationships, gender-identity and LGBTQ+. The Wellness Program provides short-term individual, group and/or drop-in support in a confidential, non-judgmental space staffed with therapists who are dedicated to improving the health, well-being, and educational outcomes of all students. Services are available in English and Spanish.
How to Access the Wellness Counselors
Students are encouraged to utilize drop-in hours or be referred by their School Counselor. Drop-in hours are published around campus, including the Counseling office and A134. For additional resources, visit the Mental Health and Wellness Counseling page.
