Welcome Back from the Counseling Department in upstairs Romley Hall!

From the Desk of Colleen Feeney Wilson:

As the new school year begins, supporting our students’ mental health is more important than ever. The new school year can bring feelings of anxiety and excitement as students transition into a new grade or even a new school altogether. 

If your son is having difficulty with this transition, or you are looking for support with his mental health in other areas, please contact me at CFeeney@brophyprep.org. 

If you are interested in off-campus counseling services, we have partnered with Care Solace to help students and their families connect to community-based providers. 

To access Care Solace:

• Call 888-515-0595: Their multilingual helpline is staffed 24/7/365.
• Visit www.caresolace.com/brophyprep: Explore mental health providers independently or click “Book Appointment” for personalized assistance.

Thank you for your partnership and for being dedicated parents in the Brophy community. 

Colleen
