School Counseling

School Counseling Mission:

The mission of the CNH School counseling department is to provide programing to address the academic, career, and personal/social needs of all students. We provide opportunity for students to gain an understanding of self and others in an environment that is safe, caring, and supportive and prepares them to thrive in a changing society. In partnership with other educators, families, and community members, CNH school counselors strive to empower students to maximize their potential and academic achievement.

HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED?

Some of the ways in which we achieve our goal of supporting the whole student include:

- teaching developmental counseling lessons in the classroom

- providing academic advisement and assisting in implementation of interventions

- supporting students' social, personal and emotional needs individually

-supporting student needs in small group settings

-organization and implementation of Career Day

- attending team meetings and parent meetings

- providing families with resources in the greater community to meet needs
