School Counselors form groups to meet the changing needs of students, teachers and families. The mandate for a school counselor is to help remove barriers to a student’s academic achievement.  Groups are formed on the basis of the barriers that exist for various students.  Some of the topics that might be addressed are:

• Anger Management
• ADHD coping strategies
• Strengthening the Classroom Connection
• Friendship
• Social Skills
• Leadership: Use your powers for good!
• Frenemies: Girls and friendship
• Teamwork
• Divorce
• Self Esteem

Individual Counseling is not offered on an on-going basis.  Students may meet with Counselors for individual guidance with a particular issue, but if long-term counseling is needed, you will be referred to an outside counselor.
