Millis Cares MILLIS CARES STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAM

MILLIS CARES is a system of resources designed to support Millis High School students in relation to concerns or questions with mental health, substance use, social media, and adolescent issues.

MILLIS CARES is designed for students to seek help for themselves, a family member, or a friend.

Reaching out for help for yourself or others can be difficult, however, there are times when we need to ask for help in order to get the support needed!
