NCUJHS

Welcome to the North Country Union Junior High School school based counseling website.

As school based clinicians, our goal is to create a warm, comfortable, safe environment where all students can feel welcome, valued and important. We work to support the social and emotional needs of students who may be experiencing challenges which interfere with their ability to fully access their education.

We believe that everyone's voice is important, that we all have the power within ourselves to meet our goals (we might just need some support in tapping into that power!), that YOU are the expert on yourself, and that there is always something to be grateful for. We hope to inspire those that we meet to work towards being the best version of themselves daily, and that the only person they should compare themselves to is the person they were the day before.

We not only provide support to students, but we also work closely with teachers and staff to ensure that a student's social and emotional needs are being met. In addition, we collaborate with a variety of outside resources and community organizations which can provide additional supports and services to students and their families.
