OUR STUDENTS ARE BELL!

BHS Social Emotional Team

The Bell Senior High Social Emotional Team is a group of multidisciplinary staff members that are equipped to support students emotionally and socially.

Bell High School is dedicated to supporting our students mental health and wellness to help students become successful adults and manage their emotions, feelings and stresses. We strive to communicate with our students through daily interactions, monitoring and observing students both in and out of the classroom, and working as a team to provide support to students who are just having a bad day or are in deep despair and in need of serious support. “A student’s social emotional character and overall school climate can powerfully affect whether students learn and thrive in schools and their communities.” (LAUSD Blueprint for Wellness p. 5)

Our Mental Health team is comprised of all Teachers, Counselors and Administrators monitoring students and providing the initial support and referral of students to our Psychological Social Worker (PSW) who provides continued support and outreach to outside organizations (see links) as needed, and two psychologists. All students that arrive in any state of distress are evaluated and provided immediate support and parents are contacted to inform them of their child's mental health. A plan is created to provide support to the student - whether that support be in continued support with our PSW and her team, outreach to an outside agency or private insurance care, or more focused support in evaluating the students mental health - the team insures that the child is not left to deal with their stressors on their own.

Together we can support the mental health of our students! Bell HS makes every effort to support our students, but without the vital support of our parents and your daily interactions with your children can we make a difference. We ask that all parents talk to you children and ask them about their day, ask them about their friends, and ask them about their classes. If at any time you see a change in your child's behavior or mental health we ask that you call your own health care provider and Bell HS counseling offices so that we can reach out to your child and monitor them at school. This will allow for communication from home to school, and outside therapy if necessary, to develop a comprehensive support program.

This page will continue to be updated with hints, tips and ideas for how to stay mentally healthy and ways to meet the needs of students that may be having increased anxiety and/or stress.

If you have any questions, please call our counseling office at 323 832 4780 and ask to speak with Ms. Soto, PSW or any administrator regarding your child. You can also alert the Bell Tip Line at 323 989 3750 to report anonymously if a friend, student, colleague or anyone in the Bell Community is in distress.

PLEASE CALL 911 IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY REQUIRING IMMEDIATE MEDICAL OR LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE.
