Once a student is referred for counseling, the school counselor will meet with the student and/or gather more information to determine the next steps. The school counselor will then be in contact with the referee and may send home a counseling permission slip via parent email or a paper copy with the student for either individual or group counseling.
 
 
When counseling students I aim to work with parents whose child is receiving counseling support while also respecting a student's confidentiality. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about counseling services.

It is a program rooted in social-emotional learning that helps transform schools into supportive, successful learning environments uniquely equipped to encourage children to thrive. More than just a classroom curriculum, Second Step’s holistic approach helps create a more empathetic society by providing education professionals, families, and the larger community with tools to enable them to take an active role in the social-emotional growth and safety of today’s children. It’s a difference you can feel the moment you step through the doors to a Second Step school: a sense of safety and respect grounded in the social-emotional health and well-being of the entire school community.
