JS Students Raise Money for Charity

In April, students in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts Justice Studies Crisis Intervention/Mediation/Restorative Justice class presented a check for $112 to Janet Childs, the director of educational servcies for the Centre for Living with Dying. Childs, who is invovled with Bay Area Critical Incident Stress Management and a grief counseling and crisis program for youth called Healing Heart, served as a guest speaker in Virginia Montelongo’s course. SJSU students learned about what constitutes a crisis, who to engage in crisis worker scenarios and debriefing techniques. The students raised money through recyling bottles and cans as part of a “Give Back to Your Community” activity in their class.
