Our BBE Core Counseling Beliefs:

• All children are unique and should be treated with respect, love and dignity.

• Every child is an individual with unique needs whom with the support required can reach his or her full potential.

• All children need to learn appropriate personal, emotional and social skills to achieve optimum mental health.

• School counseling services are not a support benefit but an integral element of a comprehensive educational plan.

• A collaborative partnership between school, home and the community is essential in children's development.

• A comprehensive and developmentally appropriate school counseling program provides important benefits to all students by addressing their intellectual, emotional, social, physical, career, academic and psychological needs.

• It is essential for the school counselor to seek professional development that enhances his or her repertoire of counseling skills to be knowledgeable on how to effectively support every student’s social, emotional and academic development to pursue desired life goals.
