School counselors provide information, strategies, and opportunities for students to safely navigate the many pathways to a successful future. Counselors meet with students individually or in small groups to teach and practice essential social skills, coping strategies, and emotional management techniques in early school years to prevent future at-risk behaviors and failures.
Elementary school counselors help parents, teachers and administrators meet the needs of students, and provide early intervention and support for struggling students.
Secondary counselors support student adjustment and transition to more rigorous academic demands, post secondary planning and the intense social and emotional changes these years bring. Students face many challenges in the world of today, and guidance curriculum taught by school counselors help youth make sense of the many conflicts for their time and attention.
