CLASSROOM GUIDANCE LESSONS:
-
These lessons will be presented in the classroom for students in grades K-5. Lessons will teach developmentally appropriate, preventative lessons to all children.
GROUP COUNSELING:

Group counseling is provided for small groups of students experiencing similar concerns. These may include making and keeping friends, anger management, coping with separation/divorce and or loss, getting organized/study skills and/or improving self-esteem. The groups generally range from 4 to 6 students and last for 6 to 8 sessions. The students for groups can be recommended by parents/guardians or by staff members. Permission slips must be signed by parents for students to participate in groups.

One-on-one counseling support is available to all students in grades pre K to 5. Students may self-refer or be referred to the counselors by teachers/staff and/or parents. Confidentiality is respected.
