Mental Health Resources

At District 3 Beach Park, the well-being of our students and families is our top priority. Understanding the critical role mental health plays in student success, we have launched District 3 CARES—a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving access to quality mental health services across our community.
What is District 3 CARES?
District 3 CARES stands for Community, Advocacy, Resilience, Engagement, and Support. This program is specifically designed to provide essential mental health resources and support to students and families, with a focus on those facing financial challenges.
Our mission is to ensure that every student has the tools they need to thrive—both emotionally and academically. By addressing barriers to care, we aim to empower students to reach their full potential in and out of the classroom.
Our Commitment
Through District 3 CARES, we reaffirm our dedication to fostering a supportive, resilient community where every student has equitable access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
