-
Provide a link with resources in the community to address issues of wellness, prevention, career development, and crisis intervention needs;
-
Provide tools to assist students in developing a value system, and an awareness of their own responsibility in decision-making, as well as the consequences involved in this process;
-
Provide assistance to students in understanding the school curriculum, and the impact course selection will have on future plans; and
