The Role of the School Counselor
School Counselors are advocates for student success. We provide a comprehensive counseling program by providing individual and group sessions, classroom curriculum lessons, and crisis management. We provide preventative and proactive strategies in the areas of personal/social, academic, and career development for all students. Long-term personal and/or family counseling will be referred to outside agencies.
Confidentiality is maintained in all conversations with children, teachers and/or parents unless there is the suspicion of abuse, which is rare. The counselor is a mandated reporter and must report any suspected neglect, physical and/or emotional abuse. Attendance issues are addressed through the counselor's office and/or the social worker's office. |
