The school counseling program is based on the American School Counseling Association Model and NC Public School Standards. I offer school counseling in the areas of academic, career, and social/emotional development. Delivery of the program is offered using the following formats:

• Classroom Guidance: Instruction delivered to an entire classroom on topics such as friendship, conflict resolution, empathy, emotional self-regulation, and many more

• Small Group Counseling: Groups with 6-8 students in which participants learn coping strategies and address a variety of common concerns

• Individual Counseling:  Student and the counselor meet one-to-one to address concerns. 

Other services provided by the school counselor: 

• Referrals: Connection with outside resources to meet social/emotional and other student needs

• Parent Meetings: Collaboration between school counselor and parent/guardian to develop a plan of action when meeting student needs

• Consultation: Meeting with other educators, parents, and teachers to share strategies that support student achievement
