Wellness Centers Across San Rafael City Schools Hope to Support Student Health and Success
At San Rafael High School, the Wellness Center was added in 2022. While students did try to make a difference in reducing the stigma around mental health, it wasn’t easy. Such as when Colleen Conradi attempted to start a suicide prevention movement during her senior year of high school, yet it wasn’t supported by staff and wasn’t taken seriously by the student body. Many felt ashamed or as if they were to speak out; they would not be taken seriously and be viewed in a negative light.
