Why would a student see a school counselor?
Academic counseling- Students sometimes have academic problems in the areas including study habits, expectations, time management, organizational skills, and the level of the curriculum. A counselor may assist students in exploring solutions to these and other academic problems.
Social/Emotional Counseling- A counselor may assist students to develop skills to interact more effectively with others, identify personal values, talents, and interests, and transition out of high school. The counselor will also provide support and assistance to students and families in crisis and can provide referrals to outside agencies for more extensive assistance including counseling, evaluations, or treatment.
College and Career Exploration- A counselor can assist students in exploring different careers and plan for post-secondary options such as higher education, military, or workforce.
This is a very different school year. If you have felt worried, stressed, or overwhelmed you are not alone. What you are feeling is normal. Click on the activities on the Self-Care Practice Board below to take a mental break and practice self-care.
