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.
