This overview highlights Del Norte Unified School District’s (DNUSD) approach to enhancing student mental health services via Project Cal-Well. DNUSD is committed to fostering positive school environments and has expanded its Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Committee to further this goal. The district has launched various mental health awareness campaigns and employs data-driven methods to refine its decision-making processes.

A significant achievement is the establishment of a closed-loop referral system, which ensures that students with unmet mental health needs are able to efficiently access school-based wellness centers. Moreover, DNUSD strategically utilizes funding to bolster support for young people facing significant mental health challenges. These efforts continue to grow, reaching beyond the scope of Project Cal-Well, as the district strives to sustainably improve student well-being within its schools and the broader community.
