School Counselors work to promote safe learning environments for all members of the school community and regularly monitor and respond to behavior issues that impact school climate. Support provided can be therapeutic, but the role of a school counselor is not to diagnose or provide therapy. We are able to provide temporary/short-term support to help students overcome acute issues having an impact on their school performance. We are a resource similar to the school nurse in that she can provide screening and band aids but refers out for more serious problems. Licensed mental health counselors are the appropriate resource to provide ongoing therapy sometimes needed by families and children.
If there are concerns that need more consistent and comprehensive services beyond a few meetings, we would be happy to provide resources for nearby therapists and agencies in our community that specialize in helping school-aged children.
See below for some of the local options we have in and around Lake Andes.
