National School Counseling Appreciation Week
February 3-7 is National School Counseling Week! School counselors help students thrive and examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; they work in partnership with families as they encounter challenges of raising children in today’s world; focus on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, career, and social/emotional development; and work with teachers and other educators to provide an education system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience make them an integral part of the total educational program. As the number of students with mental health concerns increases, our counselors and clinical team are working in close collaboration with teachers and families to help kids return to wellness and academic engagement.
