In January a young girl was arrested for fighting on her high school campus.  The police referred her to Harmonium's East County Juvenile Diversion Program.  Upon assessment with our juvenile diversion counselor, she had poor attendance at school, her grades were below C average, and she admitted to having anger management problems.   Since this was her first offense, she was placed on a juvenile diversion contract to attend counseling and increase her school performance.  She was referred to SABRE, (Structured Accountability and Behavior Response Education), an anger management and behavior modification group run by Harmonium.  By the end of March, this young girl completed SABRE, her grades and attendance have improved, and she is on track to graduate high school.     

The San Diego community continues to support the achievements of the 10 teens that created the art recycling company "Eco-Eventerprise". The business, which makes centerpieces and other event decorations made of recycled materials will compete in Washington D.C. for Junior Achievement's "Company of the Year."  They will be the only team from California and the West Coast at the July event.
