Why should I see my School Counselor?
School counselors collaborate with students, families, community members and school personnel to assure that all students realize and integrate their academic, career and personal/social potential in order to develop and achieve an individualized vision of success. We are trained to help students in the following areas.
Personal/social support – School counselors help students with issues such as friendships or other social issues, family concerns, chemical use, eating issues, stress, depression, etc. When appropriate we help connect students and families with more specialized support and resources.
Academic support – School counselors help students with academic organization, course planning, identifying barriers to success, study skills, tutors and scheduling. We also help students examine credits more closely and help ensure students are on track for graduation.
College and career planning – School counselors help students identify their strengths and interests and align those with their career goals. We discuss future planning, support college exploration and application. We help students understand the connection between their academic learning, post-secondary education and their career goals.
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) model.
