Wellness Resources

In addition to monitoring our students' academic progress, Prep for Prep works with independent schools and colleges to advocate for support of the social, emotional, and mental health of our students. If you are seeking extra support from Prep, speak with your child's Post-Placement Counselor or Undergraduate Affairs Officer for referrals to Prep's social services or mental health counseling.

Check out the resources below for ways to manage your personal wellness.
