Who is a school counselor?
School counselors are people who are specially trained to help children solve many kinds of problems – at home and at school.
Referrals to see the counselor can be made by parents, teachers, students and other school personnel.
The counselor is a part of the school team, because children can experience problems or changes in their daily lives that 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 does a school counselor do?
Counselors talk to children individually, in small groups, and in classroom presentations. Some topics of discussion may include:
- Making Friends
- Self Awareness
- Feelings & Emotions
- Personal Health & Maturation
- Family & Home Life
- Concerns About Grades & Schools
- Accepting Responsibility
- Study Habits
- Getting Along with Others
Counselors also talk with parents and teachers about ways to help students. Parents are assured that they will be contacted if problems or situations arise that are particularly significant in any way. If a referral outside of school is needed, the counselor can give parents several community sources for counseling or other services.
With whom does a school counselor consult?
- Teachers
- Parents
- Administrators
- Community resource personnel
- Physicians, psychologists, and other mental health professionals
I am available to help you with any questions or concerns that you may have.
I can be reached during regular school hours at 462-2501 or by email at [email protected].
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,
Tokie Dawkins
