Mental Health Resources and Support in South Sioux City

South Sioux City Community Schools provides a wide range of resources to support mental wellness among students and school personnel.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has been adopted by the district as the framework around which all other school initiatives are organized.  The social emotional skill training includes self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making.  It is our goal to maximize both intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence in students so that they will be successful, productive, and healthy citizens of our community.
