Counseling Services

6 years ago

Individual Counseling

 Parents, teachers, or students can let me know if a student wishes to see me and I will be sure to contact them. 

 

Group Counseling

I run various groups depending on the needs of the students.  Most of these groups are voluntary and occur over their lunch period.

 

Classroom Lessons

Throughout the school year, I will provide classroom lessons.  We discuss careers, jealousy, empathy, handling stress, kindness, respect, peer pressure, and friendship concerns.

 

Mediations

I always offer mediations to students as an option to handling a problem or a conflict they are experiencing in a non-violent and peaceful manner.  All students must follow the mediation rules and must listen carefully to each other without interrupting.  Mediations are almost always successful and are always encouraged in handling  conflicts so that discipline action is not necessary.
