What is School Counseling?
School Counseling is focused on prevention and childhood development. A School Counselor encourages successful academic, career, and personal/social development to ensure that every child succeeds. This is accomplished through classroom guidance, group, and individual counseling. Counselors work with students, parents, teachers, and administrators. School counseling services are inclusive and respectful of student and staff differences in gender, religion, ethnicity, race, ability, handicapping, condition and age.
