Small Group Counseling
Students who need more targeted interventions in specific areas are referred for short-term, small group counseling, either by the teacher or the parents. Small group topics vary from friendship skills to anxiety/worry to family changes, etc.
Individual Counseling
When students have more intensive individual needs, counselors meet one on one for short-term counseling sessions.
Confidentiality
Conversations with the school counselor are kept confidential unless a counselor determines a student:
is in danger of harming themselves or someone else
is being hurt by another individual.
In these cases, they have a legal and professional obligation to report that information to the proper authorities in order to ensure the safety of all.
