We LOVE this program 🫶🏻

We are excited to announce Anchor Allies, a new program at DISHS hosted by Healthy Acadia and Youth Recovery Coach Jude Fewell.

About Anchor Allies:
Anchor Allies stands for stability, support, and connection. It is a safe place where students can talk openly about wellness, recovery, school culture, and the challenges that come with growing up and building a healthy community.

Who It's For:
Any student is welcome! Whether you are looking for guidance, connection, or just a positive space to be heard. Participation is voluntary, and Jude is also available for class visits and one-on-one check-ins.

We are so excited to see how Anchor Allies will help strengthen our sense of community here at DISHS! Jude has been in our school every week since the start of the school year and students are very excited to start this group up!
