What is the role of the School Adjustment Counselor?

The Role of the School Adjustment Counselor is to provide social, emotional, and personal support to students. There are times when a students mental health needs require closer attention being paid to them by a school professional trained specifically in this area. Students meet individually or in small groups with the School Adjustment Counselor, though services may include meetings or consultations with parents, teachers, administrators, or community health providers to address concerns that may potentially affect a student’s success in school. The Counselor is certified by the Massachusetts Department of Education as well as the Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure (LICSW, or LMHC)
