The Rotary Club of San Clemente partnered with the Wellness & Prevention Center of San Clemente (https://wpc-oc.org/) which helps youth and families lead healthy and productive lives by providing school-based, bilingual therapeutic and counseling services, education, access to health services and healthy activities for our youth. Rotarians, staff, and volunteers of the Center seek, with the aid of a Mental Health Clinician, to provide counseling for up to thirty students with phase-of-life issues including anxiety and depression, two seminars for parents with an average audience of thirty-five per seminar, and three vaping intervention sessions that normally addresses up to twenty-five students.
The Wellness & Prevention Center addresses an essential need in San Clemente, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both local high schools and all middle schools are served, and the demographics include 20% Hispanic students, and students across all socio-economic backgrounds. The Center enjoys positive momentum and provides much needed services for critical phase-of-life issues so common among our youth, resulting in better communication and understanding between students and their families, and a more mentally-well community
