What is an Elementary Resource Counselor (ERC)?
The Elementary Resource Counseling Specialist (ERC) promotes social-emotional and mental health & wellness for all students at Stonegate Elementary. In addition, ERC's also provide short term 1:1 and/or small group counseling for students who may benefit from more specialized attention. Students are offered voluntary services that can attend to challenges such as conflict, behavior, school adjustment issues, stress, family change, grief, fears, or difficulties with relationships. ERCs are also here to provide resource linkage for families to further wrap around support for students.
