National School Counseling Week is February 5-9th. We thank our school counselors for their contributions to our students and school communities. School counselors help students succeed in school and plan their careers while encouraging them to set healthy goals, mindsets, and behaviors. They have a huge impact on our entire school community.
As we move forward into the new year, we encourage you to pause and take care of your own well-being. Reach out to a counselor if needed, and if you need additional help, Care Solace is available to support all of us. If you or a family member are looking for help with mental health or substance use, Care Solace will help you navigate the mental health care system, explain your options, and quickly find available providers in our local community.
Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential service provided by La Grande School District. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:
Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365.
Visit caresolace.com/lagrande and either search on your own OR click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.
May we all be happy and healthy!

February is Teen Dating Violence and Prevention Awareness Month. As a school community, let's stay informed about the signs of teen dating violence and know where to turn if you suspect yourself, a friend, or a family member is experiencing dating violence.
Dating violence is never okay in any form. There are many forms of violence to be aware of:
Physical abuse - unwanted and intentional contact with someone's body or something close to their body with the intent to harm.
Emotional and verbal abuse - non-physical behavior such as threats, insults, humiliation, intimidation, isolation, or social media monitoring.
Sexual abuse - force or coercion to perform unwanted sexual acts.
Digital abuse - using social media or texting to intimidate, stalk, or harass someone.
Stalking - when someone follows you or harasses you, causing fear and uncertainty.
For more information on types of abuse, you can visit loveisrespect.org.
It’s important to be aware of signs someone may be a victim of dating abuse. If you have a friend you suspect is experiencing signs of abuse, here are some tips on how you can help them:
Reach out to them and ask if they need help or support. Ensure they’re safe when communicating your concerns, and let them know you are there for them when they need someone.
Listen to them. Let them share their story and remind them it’s not their fault.
Tell a trusted adult. Sometimes, looking out for your friend means letting an adult know something is wrong and allowing them to step in and help.
If you, a friend, or a family member is experiencing abuse, here are resources available to La Grande School District.
