Welcome to our page!

As the Student Assistance Counselor, my role is to help students identify and use positive coping skills when experiencing stress, conflict, peer pressure, anxiety and other challenging circumstances.

In addition, we also 

• educate students about the risk of making unhealthy choices regarding substance use and other high-risk behaviors
• provide school-wide awareness activities to help students understand the harmful consequences of using alcohol, tobacco/nicotine and other drugs
• work with students individually, and in small groups, and conduct classroom presentations
• provide referral information to additional services in the community if needed
• work with community groups on activities to promote a healthy lifestyle for teens

We are the advisors of an afterschool club called the Youth 2 Youth Club. As a group, we create and organize monthly activities that promote a healthy lifestyle for students.  

Please feel free to contact us for any support or help you may need for your family or teen.
