As the school year comes to a close, we celebrate YFS school-based counselors in our district schools. At Mercer Island High School, a full-time YFS counselor is on site to provide a range of services, including individual mental health counseling, facilitating youth leadership development programs, and teaching emotional self-care. In addition, a full-time Alcohol and Drug Intervention Specialist offers guidance to help prevent substance abuse and, if necessary, to find other recovery support services.
Your donations (along with city funding) keep YFS counselors in our schools and ensure they’re fairly compensated for the vital care they provide. Thank you!
