Counseling

Responsive services are used to help students whose immediate personal concerns or problems put their continued personal-social, career, and/or educational development at risk.

• Responsive Services includes both individual and small group counseling
• Small group counseling is an excellent way for students to learn skills, develop self-awareness, practice new behaviors, and better understand how to effectively cope with challenges that life presents. Each group varies based on student and campus need. Students will not be seen in small group counseling without the written permission of a parent or guardian. Sometimes small group counseling isn't the best placement for your teen. If that is the case, we will support your teen through individual counseling for responsive services.
• Responsive services are available through student self-referral, teacher/administrator referral, and/or parent referral.

Individual Planning guides students in planning, monitoring, and managing their own career, educational, social, and personal growth.

Through individual planning, students are able to:

1. Set challenging educational, career, and personal-social goals.
2. Make plans for achieving short- and long-term goals.
3. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses.
4. Assess their current progress to their goals.
5. Make decisions that reflect their plans.

The Guidance Curriculum component includes skill based lessons designed to help all students develop competence in essential life skills. Guidance lessons are based on student need.

Skill goals include:

• Intrapersonal Effectiveness
• Interpersonal Effectiveness
• Post Secondary Planning and Career Readiness
• Personal Health and Safety

This component indirectly services our students. System Support includes: research development, outreach, and professional development.
