Counseling

Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Program

1. Character Education and Guidance: Guidance lessons will be delivered each month to classes.  Lessons will cover topics including topics related to social and emotional learning and growth. These include social awareness, self-awareness, responsible decision making, self-management, relationship skills and personal well-being.
2. Small Groups: Small groups are for students who may benefit from additional skill building or discussion of topics such as: anger management, grief, self-esteem, divorce, study skills, and friendship.  Groups typically last 5-6 weeks and meet for 30 minutes each week.  I typically run small groups during the spring semester, but will do groups in the fall as needed.
3. Individual Counseling: Short-term, one-on-one sessions to talk and work on a certain issue can be arranged if it is pertaining to an issue that is affecting a child at school.  Some of the issues that students may need assistance with include: friendship, bullying, behavior, coping with a loss or death, coping with a separation or divorce, anger management, or goal-setting for academic purposes.
