SAY counselors offer mental health counseling services in 9 schools in the Sonoma Valley and the North County areas. Counseling is offered both one-on-one and in groups. Without SAY’s trained counselors, many of our school have no mental health counseling.
The youth in our counseling groups consistently reach out and care for one another. This shows every time a youth tells another how something that was shared in group has impacted them to think about their own life and behavior.
Other times, after a teen has shared about a dangerous behavior, a peer who used to do that same thing will share how they made changes in their own lives to be safer. According to one of our counselors, “it’s so powerful to see our teens take the group work seriously. Not only to reach out to one another, but also to make changes to their own behavior to be safer or do things that will move them towards their future goals.”
