Y.E.S.S. Services

 

The Youth Education and Support Services program, or Y.E.S.S. is Seneca Valley School District's Student Assistance Program. Student Assistance is the Commonwealth's vehicle to identify barriers to a student's learning and provide programs that enhance a student's personal development.

 

The goal of Y.E.S.S. is two-fold. First, Y.E.S.S. identifies students who are in need of supportive services and facilitates early intervention and referral when appropriate. Second, Y.E.S.S. has a prevention component which promotes positive lifestyles through education, leadership programs, and alternative activities.

 

 

 

Any concerned person, staff member, parent or peer may refer a student whose behavior indicates a possible problem. All referrals are confidential but must be signed by the referring individual. Y.E.S.S. referrals can be made directly to the school counselor in your child's building. Students may seek help voluntarily through the Y.E.S.S. Core Team or their school counselor. The Y.E.S.S. Core Team consists of the building principal, school nurse, school psychologist, mental health liaison, teachers, and school counselor.
