Crisis Support Resources
Ridgeline is committed to supporting each member of our school community during challenging times. Life can sometimes present us with difficulties that may seem insurmountable, but remember, you deserve help and support, no matter how big or small the issue may feel.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to any of these resources if you or your child needs someone to talk to or assistance during challenging times. Your well-being is important to us, and we're here to support you.
If you have specific concerns about your student, please reach out to us at wellness@ridgeline.org
