Your Mental Health Matters!
Our Commitment to You
Bridgeport School District is committed to creating a healthy and safe learning and working environment for students, staff members, and families. We have compiled general health and safety information, featuring contacts for national suicide prevention and crisis intervention, counseling resources for teenage challenges, and support for eating disorders and substance abuse in adolescents.
Online Teen Health HUB
Find links to quality, accurate information on health topics that are important to you. Each link is vetted by Department of Health's Adolescent and Young Adult Health Team and reviewed by the Youth Advisory Council.
Safety Study Hall
Created by the Department of Health in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and other organizations, the Safety Study Hall is a place to start learning. The Safety Study Hall is a library of information and resources on several health and safety issues for schools, students, and families/caregivers.
As we open the virtual Safety Study Hall doors, we start with the key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature in HB 1230: Opioid Overdose Prevention Strategies, Secure Storage of Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medication, and Secure Storage of Firearms and Ammunition.
