School Counselor
I’m April Callison, Tower’s school counselor and military-connected liaison. This is my 25th year as a school counselor, and I’m passionate about supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional development.
Working with Tower’s strong military population has given me the opportunity to grow as a counselor and deepen my understanding of the unique needs of our military-connected students and families. I’m excited to continue serving and supporting our amazing Sheppard community!
Military and Family Life Counselor
The Military and Family Life Counseling Program helps military families and children navigate challenges with free face to face support. Child and youth behavioral military and family life counselors (MFLC), provide confidential non-medical counseling services to children and youth up to age 18 in groups and individually. They also offer support to families, staff and support personnel. Working with a counselor can help improve behavior, performance in school and relationships.
MFLC's are master's or doctoral level licensed counselors who may:
~Provide consultation support to parents and care givers, childcare providers, teachers and administrators on the health development of children and youth
~Model evidence-based intervention approaches
~Assist educators with strategies for cultivating a deeper understanding of the factors that shape social and emotional development
~Conduct classroom observations
