How We Support Students

The Chesterfield Elementary School Counseling Department supports students’ academic, social, emotional, and personal growth. We partner with students, families, and staff to help every child feel safe, supported, and successful.

📚 Classroom Counseling Lessons
Monthly classroom lessons help students build skills in friendship, communication, emotional regulation, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and other social-emotional topics.

💙 Individual Short-Term Counseling
School counselors provide short-term, solution-focused support for students experiencing school-related social, emotional, or behavioral concerns. School counseling is not therapy or long-term mental health treatment, but counselors can help connect families with community resources when additional support is needed.

🤝 Small-Group Counseling
Short-term groups provide students with opportunities to learn and practice skills such as friendship, coping strategies, emotional regulation, and social skills.

👨‍👩‍👧 Collaboration & Resources
School counselors work closely with families, staff, and community partners to support student success and connect families with resources when needed.
