The Teen Counseling Project is dedicated to maintaining healthy environments in each of the three West Sonoma County High Schools: Analy, El Molino, and Laguna.
A Leadership Committee composed of parents, educators, therapists, and business representatives from the community works to identify needs of the students and the best ways to address those needs. An ongoing goal of the Teen Counseling Project is to ensure the presence of a fulltime outreach therapist at each of the school campuses. The therapist works with students needing help with depression, alcohol and substance abuse, relationships, suicidal tendencies, isolation, eating disorders, test anxiety, and related teen issues. The presence of the therapist, along with the high school guidance staff, helps to create a positive and encouraging environment conducive to learning. Another goal of the project is to identify mental health trends on campus and initiate or support programs to address the mental health needs of each student body. |

of the most exciting and challenging times of their lives.” “Working with Av has changed my life.” - Anonymous Junior WSCUHSD |
