counseling program
The delivery of counseling services to students incorporates counseling, consultation, and coordination. Counseling services are available to all students. Services can be initiated by student referral, teacher referral, administrative referral or parent referral. Counselors use a variety of techniques and resources. A comprehensive program includes individual counseling, small group counseling (divorce, social skills, anger management, etc.), and group guidance in all classrooms at all levels (k-5).
