Do you need someone to talk to?

AWL works with MindPeace to serve our student and family mental health needs. If you would like help connecting to mental health services, please contact Jill Smith at 513-363-7819 or smithji@cps-k12.org.

There is great excitement as we enter the summer months, but sometimes that excitement fades and some people start to feel lonely, stressed, sad and/or overwhelmed. Click here for a few tips to help you through the summer.
