The SDUSD Wellness Centers are located on the campuses of Morse, San Diego, and Serra High Schools. Each Center is open to all high school students attending that respective school site.
Each Wellness Center is staffed by a Wellness Center Coordinator who provides a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental space for students to ask questions, get support, connect to community resources and learn new skills for their well-being. Wellness Center Coordinators increase student awareness of and access to student support services, promote self agency, and bridge services in collaboration with Community Partners & SDUSD services. These include physical and emotional health resources, as well as referrals to community agencies supporting students. Wellness Center Coordinators also offer students Life Skills Educational materials and programming, through a variety of avenues. Wellness Center Coordinators are active members of the District Wellness Council, School Site Wellness Committees, and integrated within the school culture.

SDUSD Wellness:
The Wellness Centers are a critical component of San Diego Unified School District's Wellness Initiative, launched in 2016. Wellness Center Coordinators are district employees, working in the Department of Nursing & Wellness under the direction of the Integrated Youth Services Division.

Their efforts are aligned to and in collaboration with School Counselors, Nursing office/ School Based Health Centers, School Leadership/Administration, Nutrition Services, and many more SDUSD programs and departments. Providing our students and families with a whole community of services is an integral aspect of wellness (please see the links below for more information on SDUSD Wellness).
