Substance Use & Recovery

Substance Use Support at York High School is provided by our School Counselors and Social Workers.  The counseling staff identifies and assists students experiencing personal stressors that can impede their school performance, and negatively impact their social and emotional well-being.  The counselors meet with students who are navigating a variety of personal issues, including those related to alcohol and other drugs, depression, anxiety, and family and friend stressors to name a few.  

If a student is referred for substance use, the counselor will meet with the student per the school policy a minimum of three times.  If there is a Code of Conduct violation,  school administrators will make a disciplinary recommendation.  The counselor will meet for a non-clinical assessment and either refer the student to other services in the school or community or will provide brief counseling to address specific issues.
