Wellbeing

 The Azusa Unified School District is committed to promoting student wellness to help all students achieve academic, social-emotional, and behavioral success. 

Student mental health wellness is supported by AUSD through a variety of services ranging from school wellness campaigns to more intensive and individualized support programs.  We also work closely with partners and community service agencies for additional service considerations to best support our students and families.  

In a time of physical distancing, we want to reassure the students and families in our district that we care about the mental health and wellbeing of our school community. 

This website contains well-being and mental health resources for students, families, and staff. If you need assistance, please call 626-858-6168

The contacts provided here are the recommended starting points for accessing mental health services. The process to initiate and access clinical mental health treatment may vary depending on health insurance providers and the availability of services. Sometimes working with multiple agencies and health insurance can be frustrating when you’re trying to help a child get needed mental health supports. We encourage you to not give up, continue to advocate for your child and be patient with mental health providers as they work to address your needs as quickly and effectively as they’re able.
