Personal and Social Counseling

School counselors develop and deliver a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes positive development, including education, prevention, and short-term intervention services designed to support positive mental health and remove barriers to student success.

Examples of student-centered services include:

  • Responsive services, including internal and external referral procedures, short-term counseling, or crisis intervention.
  • Individual planning with students addressing academic, career, and personal-social needs.
  • Educate teachers, administrators, parents/guardians, and community stakeholders about the mental health concerns of students.
  • Advocate and collaborate with school and community stakeholders to ensure students and their families have access to mental health services.

If a student experiences any type of social, emotional, or mental health issues or is worried about a friend or family member, they should contact their school counselor.
