District 205 has rolled out numerous mental health resources to support families outside of the school day, one being the 205CARES program. Although our CARES program funding has come to an end, we will continue to offer assistance in connecting families to mental health treatment. This initiative will help remove obstacles to mental health care by providing resources and support for students and families.

Additionally, we remain committed to combating stigma, expanding awareness, and increasing access to mental health services for at-risk students and underserved families through ongoing support and guidance.
