QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Resources

The role of counselors is to work with students and parents to help students' academic, behavioral and social growth.

While we do not provide therapy or long term counseling, we can recognize and respond to mental health needs and help families in seeking resources.

Please remember, your student does not need to be “in crisis” to receive support from a counselor.
