LUNA is OCAPICA’s Youth Suicide Prevention program within Anaheim Union High School District focusing on mental health awareness and resource navigation for both junior high and high school students, with a focus on Latino youth. Youth LUNA Leaders are trained to serve as peer mentors and ambassadors for school-based & community-based suicide prevention messaging, training, mental health services, and programming on select campuses districtwide. LUNA currently serves 2 high schools (Magnolia High School & Anaheim High School) and 2 junior highs (Dale JHS & Sycamore JHS) and will be holding drop-in Wellness SPACEs in Fall 2025 that provide students with peer-to-peer connections and mental health topics/wellness activities, directly on their campuses.

LUNA’s mission is "to be the moon, the light in the darkness, and the guide to a solar system of support, where the wellbeing and mental health of Anaheim youth is supported through education, connection and care."
LUNA reaches school communities (peers, friends, staff, etc.), parents and families, and all of us, who need a bit more light.

"LUNA means growth, empowerment, and community to me. Being part of LUNA has helped me use my voice to advocate for mental wellness in ways that genuinely make an impact. LUNA isn’t just a program, it’s a movement I’m proud to be part of." ~Luna H., Magnolia, 10th
