Mesa High School

Student Support Groups

Group is a small, interactive environment where we learn how to work positively with emotions within given situations and to develop other important life skills. Group is a great place to share your concerns, feelings, and thoughts and receive support from other students who may be experiencing problems similar to yours.

Groups meet on a rotating basis so the student does not have to miss the same class more than once or twice. Counselors are available to help students cope with personal needs. If something is getting in the way of doing well in school, please submit the student name(s) and issue(s) and we will come together with other peers to get support and learn coping skills. Groups can include, but are not limited to:

BUILDING SELF ESTEEM
