Healthy Decisions Group
​​This program is for students in the Shippensburg Area Middle School and High School having difficulty in the school setting. The students meet once a week to work on different skills, such as communication and conflict resolution. School counselors and teachers can refer students to the program. Both the student and the parents have to agree and give permission for the student to participate.
Youth Advisory Council
The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is based out of Shippensburg Area Middle School. This is a group of middle school students to help make decisions related to youth resiliency and reducing youth substance youth. It allows students to have their voices heard and to help give perspective to certain programs of what is and what is not working. YAC members participate in events and in the past have attended events at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center.
