Why do children need School Psychologists?

• All children & youth can face problems from time to time related to learning; social relationships; making difficult decisions; or managing emotions. School psychologists help students, families, and educators understand and resolve both long-term and short-term issues that students might face.

How We Support Students

How We Support Students: Schoolwide Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

How We Support Students

17

• Parental consent required for ongoing counseling.
• All counselors and therapists must maintain confidentiality.

Are students in trouble if they are sent to see the counselor?

School counselors do NOT provide discipline. School counselors are advocates, meaning we want to listen to students and help come up with solutions. While we cannot solve problems for students or families, we provide a safe place to be a safe person to talk to during difficult situations.

18

When can or should I contact the school counselor?

• Concerns over student achievement
• Family health problems
• New student intakes
• Discussing special needs of their child
• Early discussion of potential crisis

• Family difficulties or concerns (divorce, deportation, separation)
• Homelessness or foster care
• Medical concerns
• 504 Plans
• Transition to high school
