Santa Maria High School Support Group
This is a general support group for students who are struggling with personal issues. Students decide what topics they want to discuss and give each other support. The group meets on Mondays.


Healthy Relationships Girl's Group
This girl's support group provides awareness and education about relationship violence issues and healthy relationship choices. We will talk about different types of relationship violence, power and control, the cycle of violence, and warning signs of an abusive relationship. We will also focus on components of a healthy relationship: positive self-esteem, communication skills, boundaries, and equality. The girls meet on Mondays.


Reach
On Tuesdays from 11:00-12:00, the students in the Reach program are provided with education and awareness on various topics. We will focus on anger management, communication skills, conflict resolution, assertiveness training, self-esteem building, healthy relationships, and violence prevention. We will primarily focus on drugs and alcohol issues.
