Salem and Peabody High Health Centers are here for you!

Did you know we have great health centers in both Salem & Peabody High Schools your teen can get healthcare from?

Our school-based health centers are available in-person and for Telephone or Video Visits Monday–Friday.

We care for your family just as we care for our own. In addition to answering questions and receiving care for COVID-19,  your student can drop by both if they are sick or for preventative care such as:

• Vaccines (COVID-19, Flu, HPV)
• STD screening
• Mental Health screenings
• ADHD screening

We know ongoing changes have been stressful for all of us.  Some tips we have which may be helpful to you.

The best way to protect ourselves against COVID infection are to:

• get vaccinated.
• wash your hands thoroughly.
• not touch our faces.
• wear masks.

Federal Guidelines recommends everyone ages 5 years and older get a COVID-19 vaccine to help protect against COVID-19.

• COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of people getting COVID-19 and can also reduce the risk of spreading it. The risk of severe illness is much greater for people who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
• COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19.
• People who are fully vaccinated will not be required to quarantine if they come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

Your child can get vaccinate in school with your consent.

Consent Forms can be downloaded,  printed and signed.  Alternately your child can print one at school or get one in their SBH at Salem High (Rm 117) or at Peabody High.

HOW TO MANAGE STRESS

General recommendations: 

• Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including those on social media. It’s good to be informed, but hearing about the pandemic constantly can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and disconnecting from phone, tv, and computer screens for a while.
• Take care of your body
  • Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.
  • Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals
  • Exercise regularly
  • Get plenty of sleep
  • Avoid excessive alcohol, tobacco, and substance use
  • Continue with routine preventive measures (such as vaccinations, routine check ups, etc.) as recommended by your healthcare provider
  • Get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine
• Make time to unwind — Try to do some other activities you enjoy
• Connect with others — Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling
• Connect with your community- or faith-based organizations — While social distancing measures are in place, try connecting online, through social media, or by phone or mail
