Counseling Corner
Hello! My name is Lori Nemelka
I love working with your children at Highland Elementary School. They bring me joy every day!
I work with students to help with their social and emotional wellbeing, and I assist students in the following ways:
Classroom Lessons
I visit every classroom once a month for a presentation on social and emotional skills. Often I share ideas to help families reinforce social and emotional learning at home.
Group Counseling
I meet with small groups of children for social and emotional learning. We learn together through sharing and activities. The topics of these groups include but are not limited to:
Friendship & Social Skills
Self-Esteem & Positive Self-Talk
Managing Worry & Anxiety
Emotional Regulation
Family Changes & Grief
Individual Counseling
I meet with students one-on-one for short-term
counseling focused on social and emotional skills
that will help students find success in life.
(up to 6 meetings)
Discover social emotional wellness each day of the week:
Self-Care Sunday - Mindful Monday - Talking Tuesday - Wonder Wednesday
Thankful Thursday - Fitness Friday - Service Saturday
Happiness
Write down three things you are grateful for each day. Express your gratitude to others.
Health
A balance of good sleep, nutrition, and exercise will help you be your best at school each day.
Hope
Hope is a positive feeling, and a choice to believe that good things are possible.
