AES Counseling Resources

March 2020

Mrs. Jernigan, AES Counselor

AES Families,

During the Covid-19 situation I would like you to know I am available by email to help students and their families in a variety of ways. I will keep updated on helpful resources for helping our children with anxiety, time-scheduling, getting along with others and other subjects that pertain. Parents, I am here for you as a support also! Please let me know of your needs and I will help to connect you with resources.

Sincerely,

Jill Jernigan
