At the schools:

Full- and part-time counselors and interns, nurses and a staff member from Bay Area Community Resources present at each school. Peer Resource, conflict mediation and leadership programs are in place at each school. In addition to specific programs, counselors and other staff sponsor small groups of students concerned about drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gay and lesbian issues and parent problems. Should one school have a crisis, the other schools assist in forming an intervention team.
