Mental Health Services

All MEG's student, parent and staff programs are based on the widely accepted prevention model and writing of Bonnie Bernard which is a school friendly translation of Emmy Werner and Ruth Smith's extensive research in the area of prevention and intervention.  In short, this model asserts that people will be 'protected' against harmful and destructive behaviors such as, but not limited to, alcohol and drug abuse when families, schools, and communities provide children with the following essentials:

  • Relationships with caring adults

  • Ongoing opportunities for meaningful participation

  • Bonding to a school.
