Mental Health Support Services
Gonzales Schools' Mental Health Support Services provide a safe and supportive environment in the school setting where students can discuss a variety of topics in a confidential, nonjudgmental space staffed by supportive staff dedicated to improve the health, well-being and educational outcomes of all students. Students have access to both on-campus and community resources. Gonzales students can receive social-emotional support, counseling and be referred to other support services to maximize student engagement and success.
