School Counselor

Picture
Children can experience problems or changes in their lives just as adults do.  It can affect them emotionally, physically, and academically.  Because we want them to grow and develop in a positive way, finding solutions to their problems or helping them to adjust to changes is very important. 

What is a School Counselor?

A school counselor is a person that helps children solve many kinds of problems, both at home and at school.  The school counselor acts as a support person by being a “listening ear”.  The school counselor can also be supportive to the student's family and teachers.
