Be Brave Boundaries Group
From daytime student counseling visits, to evening appointments, and their presence at our family events, the Encouragement Clinic is an advocate for strong Spartan mental health. Their mission is to provide the best support for life stressors and changes, grief and growth, and transitioning from trauma to peace.
A weekly support group for teens, "Be B.R.A.V.E" (Boundaries, Relationships, Accountability, Vulnerability, and Emotions), has been created to better support our Superior High School students. This group will help show individuals how to identify their own boundary styles and maintain healthy boundaries with others. This program was made possible by the funding raised from our SHS Boys soccer "Kick Out Mental Health" fundraiser".
