Salesianum School Celebrates the Dedication of the Hynansky Wellness Center
Helping boys thrive means equipping them with the tools needed to manage their emotions, relationships, and stresses. Indeed, that’s what educating the whole person is really all about. To that end, Salesianum is a local leader in mental health programming and accessibility. We believe that in order for each of our students to thrive and grow into their full potential, true holistic wellness must be supported through a wide range of easily accessible, effective, and relatable services.
During the summer of 2024, The Hynansky Wellness Center was created thanks to a landmark gift from John Hynansky and Alexandra Hynansky Vadas in honor of Nicholas Vadas, a graduate of the Class of 2023. The Center provides a centrally located space to consolidate services in a high-traffic area, signaling to students and teachers alike our commitment to mental health and reducing the stigma of seeking services from the wellness center. This center houses the school’s three full-time and two part-time counselors and a space for telehealth services. The space also includes a central informal gathering area known as Sean’s Room, a gift from Unlocke The Light Program. This area is utilized for peer counseling, group meetings, and other programs tied to the school’s overall wellness efforts aimed at the body and spirit.
We extend our gratitude to everyone who attended today’s dedication and to all who continue to support the wellness of our students. Together, we are unlocking the light and ensuring that every member of our community has a safe space to seek support and flourish.
Salesianum School
Salesianum School educates and develops the whole person based on the teaching of Saint Francis de Sales, whose spirituality can be summarized in “Live Jesus.” As an independent Catholic secondary school founded by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in 1903, Salesianum challenges young men through dynamic college preparatory and extracurricular programs to live as Salesian Gentlemen devoted to faith, community, and service.
