Individual Counseling Sessions with the School Counselor:

Students can meet with the school counselor by self-referral, counselor, teacher or parent request. During individual meetings the counselor can help students understand and accept themselves, cope with family changes/or family crises, and develop decision making skills, conflict resolution skills, anger management techniques, and problem solving strategies.

The following are just a few of examples of the situations in which school counselors can help students:

• My best friend and I seem to be fighting a lot lately. We just can't seem to get along

• My parents are getting a divorce. I'm scared about what's happening to our family.

• I am the new student here at school and I am afraid that I just won't fit in

• My father just lost his job and everyone at home seems to be upset all the time

• I live with my grandparents. My family isn't like my friends family

• My parents are fighting a lot more than they used to. Is it something I did?

• I have been having nightmare's lately and it takes me so long to fall asleep at night.

• My grandpa just passed away.

• My mommy just had a new baby and it's ruining everything!

• My dad just got remarried and I have new siblings. They don't like me.

• I do my homework but, I can't seem to remember to bring it with me to school.

• Johnny said if I don't give him my lunch money again that I'd be sorry!

I'm here to help YOU and YOUR CHILD(REN)!
