Councils allow space for students to share and listen around specific challenges or needs and are offered to select students who are excused from class time to attend. Topics addressed in Councils may include (but are not limited to) promoting wellness, healthy relationships, and mutual support for female-identified teens; support for students with compromised social-emotional development; and conversations around difficult issues specific to female-identified and male-identified specific groups of teens.
