Social/Emotional/Mental Health Resources
CUSD 10 is committed to the WHOLE Child Philosophy of Education. We believe to be prepared for well-paying jobs and lifelong learning, children need personalized support, safe environments, good health and challenging learning opportunities.
The information on this page was recommended by our administrators and social workers to help parents and students learn more about a few important topics.
Please contact your child’s school for help with issues impacting your family. Our school social workers have additional materials and can connect you with resources.
