The B.I.O.N.I.C. Team was started by school counselor Sandy Austin in the 2004-05 school year at Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, Colorado in response to four suicides of students at our school a couple years earlier. It is a club to help support students and staff going through challenging times and prevent other students from falling through the cracks. As a result, the B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams at Green Mountain and Pomona reached over 140,000 people in 14 years and has expanded worldwide. Over 2,300 schools around the world have inquired about starting a B.I.O.N.I.C. Team on their school campus. Through the B.I.O.N.I.C. Team, young people are making a difference in their world by helping others facing challenging times such as new students, sick or hospitalized students, bullied students, students and staff who lose loved ones, and other schools experiencing tragedy.
