Adolescents are often burdened with academic, home, and peer stressors. With adolescent mental health issues and suicide on the rise, administrators have worked with nonprofit organizations and the community to address stress and internalized behavior problems. School-based wellness centers are tranquil rooms with various sensory activities, calming nature scenes, and sounds for relaxation purposes. School-based wellness centers may have behavioral effects by reducing exposure to aversive events and increasing access to positive and negative reinforcers. There has not yet been a formal study of school-based wellness centers published in the literature. In the present study, we used questionnaires to examine the perceptions of 752 students, 124 parents, and 69 school staff of their high school wellness center. Results indicated that stakeholders had positive perceptions of the wellness center. In particular, results implied that stakeholders believed the wellness center contributed to students’ academic success, elevation of mood, confidence, and coping skills. Results also suggested that attendance at the wellness center was associated with a decrease in student stress and anxiety, though recommendations for improvements were noted. Implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

青少年常常承受着学业、家庭和同龄人的压力。随着青少年心理健康问题和自杀率的上升，管理人员与非营利组织和社区合作解决压力和内在行为问题。学校健康中心是安静的房间，提供各种感官活动、平静的自然景观和用于放松的声音。学校健康中心可能会通过减少厌恶事件的暴露和增加获得积极和消极强化物的机会来产生行为影响。文献中尚未发表关于校本健康中心的正式研究。在本研究中，我们使用问卷调查了 752 名学生、124 名家长和 69 名学校工作人员对高中健康中心的看法。结果表明，利益相关者对健康中心有积极的看法。特别是，结果表明，利益相关者相信健康中心有助于学生的学业成功、情绪提升、信心和应对技能。结果还表明，尽管提出了改进建议，但参加健康中心与学生压力和焦虑的减少有关。讨论了本研究的意义和局限性。
