Need support?
Remember, it's okay to ask for help
It is important to us that you are aware of the school-based support services that are available, as well as the local community resources that can provide support outside of the school setting. School Counselors, Student & Family Advocates, and District staff are available for students in each school.
The NESTT
Navigating Emotions and Stress Through Training, is a dedicated wellness space tailored for students, available at all of our secondary schools.
Schools play an important role in addressing social emotional behavioral health concerns. Our NESTT programming offers access to social-emotional support while building student knowledge of stress management skills and strategies.
The approach of the NESTT is founded on research, grounded in trauma-informed practices, and ensures that the space is available for all students to prioritize their safety and well-being.
The NESTT is supported through a generous grant through the Iowa City Community District Foundation. Thank you to all who donate to this wonderful organization supporting our schools and our students.
