B-Well is the mental health support club for all Brentonians! Our mission is to advocate and support mental health for all. Scroll down to find event times, news articles, and some supports both on and off campus.
Dates of leaves may be subject to change. Families will be notified of any changes to these details.
PLEASE NOTE that, unless leave periods begin after academic classes (i.e., after the morning), they are marked here as beginning at 3:00 am Pacific Time. That is because Brentwood Transportation typically begins driving students to airports, etc. as early as that time.
Please refer to our detailed Travel site for details.
