Support Group
A variety of support groups are offered to our students in order to assist with specific issues and/or problems that may be interfering with their social/emotional growth and/or success in high school. Groups are a great way to meet with other students who can relate to one another. Students will find a forum of peer support, where they can gain strength as they share their feelings and experiences with other students who are facing the same obstacles. Each group generally meets once a week, during the school day. Groups require an initial consultation or group screening.
Restorative Conversations/ Mediations
Conflict is a normal and positive force that can be a part of personal growth and social change. To deal effectively with a conflict, a trained facilitator manages a process of communication called a restorative conference or a mediation. Restorative conferences and mediations are a chance to sit face to face and talk, uninterrupted, so each side of the dispute is heard. It allows for problem solving, restoration and a resolution or agreement that is written and signed.
The community liaisons provides community resources and referrals, emergency food boxes, and oversee the campus clothing closet.
