NMSS, in partnership with Care Solace, provides 24/7 service for all in need of mental health support.
If you are a student, parent, or community member in need of help for your mental health or wellbeing, we have tons of resources to help you cultivate new strength or just a little space around the pain you are feeling. We are here for you, and we want to help.
Please know, we are here for you no matter what you are going through. No one can go it alone all the time. At New Millennium Secondary School (NMSS), one of the most important things we do here is care about and watch out for each other. These last few years have been extremely rough on us all with the changing landscape of the pandemic and uncertainty all around.

Supporting Everyone – We are All Warriors
We believe in you. Being human is hard, but one thing is true – being human comes with the ability to fall down time after time, then figure out how to stand again. The teams we have at both NMSS and Care Solace have incredible hearts and deep experience in helping people figure out how to get through the roughest challenges imaginable.
Wild Geese
There are a lot of opinions in this world and some of them push us to do more than we can, and measure ourselves against values or goals that don’t serve us. Please know that your life is yours alone to do what makes you shine, and to follow your own heart.
Here is a poem from Mary Oliver that has helped many struggling with weight from the outside world that doesn’t feel good. (Watch YouTube poem here)
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
