Mental, social and emotional health are essential for students' well-being and growth. Each D102 school has mental health professionals on staff. In D102, we prioritize relationships and encourage families to reach out to district staff if their child is struggling and could use our support

Students who are in crisis can always call or text the Suicide and Crisis Hotline at 988. More information can be found at this link. Additionally, students may find resources at Safe@HelpIL. This website helps students navigate their own mental health and/ or help a friend.

We are committed to creating a culture of well-being of students, staff, parents, and community. In an effort to continuously support this commitment, the district has entered an agreement with ReferralGPS.

ReferralGPS is a web-based service focused on assisting our students, staff, and community in finding local mental-health and substance use related treatment. The service compliments the districts existing systems of support as a tool for student service teams and families to connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in triage, appointment setting, and follow up care.

ReferralGPS takes into account all types of private and public insurance including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, Medicare, and families who are uninsured or underinsured. The platform also filters by age, gender, zip code, and special requests.
