As a Student Assistance Specialist, I work with students either individually or in small groups to assist them in developing coping skills on any life issue they may be facing such as anger, bullying, grief or academic problems. These sessions are designed to be short-term (6-8 weeks) and are intended to promote emotional and social learning. I am also available to facilitate classroom presentations on a number of topics. In addition, I can assist students, parents and school faculty in locating various community resources. I am located in room 28. If I am not on campus, you can reach me at (209) 526-1476 ext.475 bchacon@centerforhumanservices.org.
