In youth we learn; in age we understand.

We are active on local campuses providing professional weekly support groups from elementary to college age students. These are some of the most traumatic and complex situations in which we are involved. Our on-campus counseling services provide a critical venue for honest communication, support and coping skills eliminating the need for drugs, alcohol, and other self-medicating behavior. Our work with the schools extends to educating teachers and staff on how to deal with students’ questions about traumatic death, such as a peer’s suicide. HSB is poised to respond immediately to any and all of the 65 schools from Carpinteria to Goleta who call on us when a traumatic death occurs within the campus structure.
