Secondary Counseling Services

School Counselors For Grades 6-12

School Counselors provide emotional and social support to all students, specifically in areas of:

  • Goal Setting
  • Individual Counseling
  • Group Counseling
  •  Peer Mediation
  • Crisis Intervention
  • Coping Strategies

School counselors do not provide therapy or long-term counseling in schools. However, they are prepared to recognize and respond to mental health needs and to assist students and families seeking resources. Students in need of therapy or long-term counseling may be referred to outside agencies. Family & Children’s Services and CREOKS may be available to provide services on site to students who qualify.

Confidentiality

All students have the right to privacy and confidentiality when speaking with their school counselor. However, confidentiality may be broken if safety is a concern for the student. Exceptions to confidentiality are as follows:
•    Student is a danger to self or others
•    Student has been harmed or is in fear of being harmed
•    Court ordered disclosure
