School counselors are advocates for students. They provide support in social/emotional, academic, and career development. Their primary objective is to help students succeed and make positive decisions to support academic and personal development. To accomplish this, they work closely with students, teachers, parents and school administrators. School counselors provide short-term counseling interventions and can help with referrals to community resources for long-term support.
