How can your School Counselor help?
School counselors can help in a variety of ways. Most topics discussed with a school counselor fall into one of three areas:
Academic Counseling: scheduling, forecasting, graduation progress, grades
Personal/Social Counseling: tough life situations that may make it difficult to stay focused in class or on academics, mental health issues, relationship trouble, bullying, dealing with stress
College/Career Counseling: planning for life after high school, resumes, letter of recommendation, college applications, etc.
While your counselor may reach out to you from time to time, if you have a question or need help with anything, it's up to you to let your counselor know. Don't hesitate to reach out. Your counselor is there for you!
