Mental Health Resources
PRHS School Counselors are able to provide brief, solution-focused counseling to support students as they manage the stress and worries of high school, friends and family. When a student is facing a bigger challenge or mental health struggles, the school counselors will refer students to other area counselors who can provide more in-depth, long-term counseling. We also have a wellness counselor who meets with students who are impacted by substance use. These servies are free and confidential. If you are interested in learning more about any of these servcies, please contact your counselor.
