As the Student Assistance Counselor, my role is to help students identify positive coping skills when experiencing stress, conflict, peer pressure, anxiety and other challenging circumstances.
In addition, I 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
I am the advisor 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 me for any support or help you may need for your family or teen.
