Wellness at Cambridge
Cambridge High School recognizes that good mental health and well-being is imperative to the successful growth of our students.  In an effort to share resources with our community, the Counseling Department has added a 'Wellness' tab to its new website.  This website includes links to 'Find a Local Therapist' along with suggested informational websites on resilience, substance abuse, and mental health. 

Two links recently added include the following:
  • Who are America's Adolescents? Get the latest facts and figures about adolescents and their health at state and national levels. Find information on changing demographics and how adolescents spend their time.
  • Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) is a national call to action for organizations and individuals to prioritize activities that improve the health of America's 42 million adolescents. You can make a difference by taking action - check out these resources to learn more about the recommended action steps and resources.
We invite you to view our new website and continue to check-in with your students at home on their well-being!
