Health and Wellness

At Berkeley Carroll, student wellbeing is central to who we are.

We recognize that each child comes to school with their own experiences, strengths, and needs, and our goal is to support them as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our psychologists, learning specialists, and interventionists work closely with teachers and staff to ensure that every student feels known, supported, and empowered.When a student needs additional care, we partner with families to create strategies that can be used at school and at home. If further evaluation or outside services are helpful, our team provides guidance, referrals, and coordinated communication. By approaching each student holistically and collaboratively, we help them build the skills and confidence to thrive — as they are and will be.

Student Support Services

Wellness Education & Prevention

Across divisions, students engage in programming that fosters healthy decision-making, emotional awareness, and overall wellbeing. From skill-building lessons to community-wide initiatives, our approach emphasizes proactive support and empowers students to make choices that help them thrive.

Referrals & Outside Partnerships

If a student may benefit from additional evaluation or specialized services, our team helps families navigate the process with care. We provide referrals, communicate with outside providers, and ensure seamless coordination so each child’s support network is aligned and effective.

Collaboration with Families

Families are essential partners in our work. Our Student Support Team communicates regularly with caregivers, offering guidance, resources, and coordinated plans that extend beyond the school day. Together, we support each student’s growth in a holistic, responsive way.

Intervention Services

When students benefit from more focused support, our interventionists provide short-term, skill-based instruction to reinforce foundational academic skills. They work closely with teachers and specialists to ensure that progress in the classroom is mirrored by steady, meaningful growth.

Learning Support

Learning specialists partner with students and teachers to ensure that every learner is challenged and supported. Through targeted strategies, small-group support, and collaboration with families, they help students understand how they learn best—and advocate for themselves with increasing independence.

Counseling & Psychological Services

Our psychologists provide a safe, supportive space for students to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and strengthen their social–emotional skills. Through individual check-ins, classroom programming, and collaboration with educators, they help students build confidence and resilience.
