May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Did you know that every school in the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) has a dedicated School Social Worker or Counselor? Each member of the district’s Mental Health Support Team plays an essential role in supporting students and families.
May is a time to highlight the importance of emotional well-being for everyone. CVESD recognizes that navigating a child's mental health can sometimes feel challenging, and wants families to know that they are not alone.
Here are a few ways families can take action and access valuable resources:
- Complete the Take Action for Mental Health Pledge for yourself, your friends, and your school community.
- Contact your school office to talk with your School Social Worker/Counselor.
- Check out the San Diego County Office of Education’s Parenting the Whole Child Podcast

- Free virtual wellness coaching for children and families: Brightlife Kids
- San Diego Access & Crisis Line – dial 988 (24/7 support)
CVESD is committed to the well-being of all students and families. The Mental Health Support Team is available to provide guidance and resources throughout the year.
