The Bears Wellness Center

Welcome to the Bergenfield High School Bears Wellness Center! We are a place to access supports that address students physical, mental, emotional and social concerns while offering strategies to increase resiliency and overall well-being.

Children are under more pressure today than ever before. They are likely to endure more stress than previous generations. Therefore, students need to learn self-care and to manage emotions to ideally learn to self-regulate. This is a key component of stabilizing mental health.

The Wellness Center will support more student and parent/guardian/family engagement. School Administrators, teachers, and support staff will work together to improve social, emotional learning and behavioral health. The center will bring people together with a shared vision for equality and the healthy development of children.

The center will also support teachers by assisting adolescents to thrive in the classroom and beyond!
