Thayer Academy’s Health & Wellness Center brings physical health and mental health together under one roof. The first floor houses the Academy’s nursing staff to support the health needs of all Thayer students. The second floor provides space for trained counselors to work with students to address their social/emotional and mental health needs in a caring, compassionate environment. The center features offices for nurses and counselors, a conference space for meeting and collaboration, a Quiet/Relaxation Room for students to use during free periods to decompress, and a dedicated telehealth space for students to engage in counseling with outside providers during the school day, as needed. The shared, collaborative space is part of a comprehensive initiative to support student emotional and physical health, thereby promoting growth, learning, and wellness.
