Important Notes:
*Keep in mind these could be triggering questions for many students
*If student self-reports lower than a 5 on a sliding scale question, possible counselor referral needed
*If student has a difficult time (beyond appropriate shyness) answering many of these vulnerable questions, a possible counseling referral may be needed
*If a student shares any yellow or red flags with you let them know that you WILL touch base with the school counselor, but they can choose if they want to proceed with the counselor
“What would make your life easier as a parent?”
“What is your favorite part of parenting/hardest part?”
“What is your child doing right now (developmental stages)?”
“Have you heard of our HOPE program?”
“Have you heard of parenting resources in the community?”
“Do you feel you have enough baby/children supplies?”
“Do you feel you need any parenting support?”
“What do you wish I knew about being a parenting student?”
“How are you feeling (scaling question, 1-10 if lower than 5 maybe consult with counselor?) Are you getting enough sleep? Do you get any child-care/support/help?”
“Are you connected to other parents/parenting students?”
