How do you see your school counselor?

Students or parents can stop by, email, call counselors, or fill out a form in the student services offices. Students can refer themselves, parents can refer their student, friends that know a student needs something can refer a student, and teachers or other staff members can refer students.

Examples of reasons students would come to the counselor include, but are not limited to the following:

• Having trouble with school/grades

• Problems at home or getting along with family
• Feeling scared or worried about a situation
• Share and celebrate positive things
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Friendship issues
• Grief, loss and divorce
• Bullying and harassment
• Social/Emotional Issues (depression, anxiety, etc.)
• Foster self-awareness, acceptance, and diversity
