Elementary school counselors support the academic, social, and emotional well-being of students in the elementary school setting through:

• School-wide Support: Provide social emotional learning opportunities to all students for bullying prevention, self-regulation, problem solving, etc.

• Group Counseling: Students are referred for small group sessions that cover topics such as friendship, problem solving, study skills, and others identified by student needs.

• 1:1 Counseling: Support students experiencing family problems, anxiety, grief, or any other challenges that might affect a child's well-being and performance in school. School counselors do NOT provide long-term or therapy services.

• Referrals to Specialized Services: Connect families to local mental health organizations, assist with McKinney Vento paperwork, provide support for foster youth.
