Hello Families & Friends of ARHS,

I hope this message finds you all in good health and spirits, and that all of you are able to enjoy the winter break. But, if for any reason you need assistance with a mental health urgent/crisis during the break, some services and supports are listed below. Our School Counselors and other members of our Mental Health team will also be on a well-deserved break. And you will most likely not be able to reach any of them for support next week. Please use the resources listed below if you or a loved one is struggling.
