Mental Health and Wellness Resource Page

Welcome to the Mental Health & Wellness Page

Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) values the importance of overall student wellness. Wellness is much more than just physical; we believe it encompasses a student’s emotional and mental needs as well. CCS collaborates with multi-disciplinary teams to meet the social emotional needs of all students in order to provide a safe and healthy learning environment where children can succeed.

Each CCS school site has a Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) team made up of School Counselors, School Social Workers, School Psychologist, Nurses, and School Resource Officers. SISP teams work together to support the whole child. With strong communication, collaboration, and engagement, CCS SISP teams strive to do what is best for students.

SISP Department Roles

The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) defines school counselors as mastered level trained and certified educators who design and deliver school counseling programs to improve student outcomes. School counselors are school leaders, advocates, participate in collaboration with other professionals, and promote equity for all students in order to be successful.

  • During the 2023-2024 school year Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) conducted a Request for Proposal for School Based Mental Health (SBMH). We are excited to announce our partnerships with 15 community agencies that will support our CCS following a regional model. Below you see the SBMH agencies assignments for the 2024-2025 school year. Along with a link to each agency’s website. In addition to these agencies’ schools will continue to be able to make referrals to Atrium Hospice Palliative Care for grief counseling and Atrium Telehealth services (Atrium Telehealth Info Video). If you have questions regarding SBMH reach out to your schools Mental Health Contact. Please noted that school based mental health is to help assist with students exhibiting maladaptive behaviors impeding their academic day.
