School counselors may see students for:

- SMALL GROUPS working with students on things such as impulse control, friendship, anger management, and social skills.
- INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING with students on a short-term basis to meet social, emotional, or behavioral goals.
- CRISIS INTERVENTION to prevent crises and plan for safety.
School counselors are here for parents too! A counselor may work with parents to:
- Explore ways to help your child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally
- Sit in on parent conferences when requested
- Help connect you with community resources for services such as mental health counseling, case management, or crisis support
- Collaborate to meet the personal, social, and academic need of your child
