Our program is a comprehensive data-driven program modeled by the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) National Model for school counselors, which focuses on the three domains of academic development, career development, and socio-emotional development. The program consists of multi-cultural and developmentally appropriate individual counseling, small group counseling, and classroom instruction throughout the school year. Some of the themes discussed are character education, college and career preparation, peer support programs, and drug and alcohol abuse prevention. As counselors, we use practices from elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy that have been proven effective in school through empirical data. The combination of these two approaches to therapy enables counselors to aid students in being goal-orientated and solution-focused while improving moods and encouraging positive behavior and thoughts.
