This week's blog teaches us how to finish out healthy and strong!
We hope you enjoyed the Speaker Series this year! Save the Date for next year's Speakers! Be sure to scroll the Speaker Series section for additional presentations and free learning opportunities in our community covering topics like mindfulness and stress reduction in teens and support groups for parents of teenagers dealing with mental health struggles! |
Student Support Counseling is available at any time during the school day. We are able to help and support students with whatever issues they may be facing. For some students they may want to talk and others just may need a quiet, safe place to go. Others, may have concerns about someone they know. Either way we are available.
If the issue is something more than what we can handle here at school, we can connect families to those needed resources. We also want to encourage the collaboration with any outside agency you may be working with. We have the students for the majority of their day so working together as a team will be most beneficial and effective for the student!
