Our Services

This page is a list of the various services provided by the counselors and social workers at Académie Lafayette.

Individual and Group Therapy

This service is focused on issues impacting students’ academic progress or social emotional wellbeing. Goals are developed in collaboration with family members and teachers to support student resilience. Therapy sessions typically last six to eight weeks. Often, we meet with students a handful of times to help solve a short term issue or teach specific academic, social and/or coping skills. However, if we identify a need for regular therapy sessions with a student, we will seek parent permission.

To schedule a therapy or counseling session, contact your campus counselor or social worker.

Character Education

Classes

We reach all students through regular classroom lessons. These lessons focus on academic skills, social-emotional development and bullying. We also teach about important topics related to healthy living, safety and personal responsibility.

Counseling

We offer counseling services such as organizational skills, executive functioning skills, planning for higher education, financial aid/scholarship planning, and other as-needed career counseling services.

Crisis Response

We support students who experience a significant setback or traumatic event. Our team responds quickly in order to provide immediate support. Our department assists with the execution of safety protocols in each of our buildings. Please reach out if your child and/or family needs additional crisis support.

CARE Team

CARE Team is a comprehensive approach gathering the expertise of multiple staff members, in order to design educational, medical, and behavioral interventions and supports. The goal is to increase students' success and to provide a referral source for social work, counseling, and special education. CARE Team meetings are held once per month.

Family Support

We can help families meet their needs including school supplies, clothing, food, community resources and mental health referrals. We care so much about supporting AL families, we have a whole page devoted to this topic.
