My Students

The Diablo Community Center is the only place on campus for students to slow down, relax, seek safety, rest, breathe, talk, and not be judged all at the same time. As a result, our students often enter the door in fight or flight mode, highly agitated or in need of major emotional support.

Our students are among the most eager, vulnerable, sensitive and delicate students of the entire campus.

Our students typically gravitate to our school based health center for a sense a of community and safety during the madness of a typical school day. In a high school made up of roughly 1,500 students, there are few places of refugee and calm... However, this is what we hope to offer in the Diablo Community Center each day!

My Project

Mental health and health counseling, therapy, advice seeking or what ever you want to call it, is what we do! In serving and working with our high schoolers, the center's staff often rely on building rapport to support students and their families on important issues and concerns. It's hard to do this when their is no space to sit.

My students are in need of a place to rest their feet and talk.

Our center is used by over 100 students each school day and is especially crowded at brunch and lunch. With the additional couch, futon, and bean bag chairs more students will have the opportunity to stop into our center, access our services and have a seat!

The homey feeling of couches and futons make students feel at home especially when they are struggling with their day.
