Why see a school counselor?

-    My child is having difficulty adjusting to a new school.  What should I do?

     -    My child is dealing with personal issues (death, divorce, deployed parent, incarceration, etc.) and needs someone to talk to.

     -    I suspect my child is being bullied.

     -    I would like help setting up an academic plan that best suits the needs of my child.

     -    I want to discuss/find out about school and community resources available for my child.

     -    Does my child have special needs?

Group Counseling

An important part of Hunter B. Andrews School Counseling Program is working with students in small groups. These small groups can help students acquire new, valuable skills and share feelings about their common experiences in a relaxed environment. Groups focus on the following topics:

Ø  Conflict Resolution

Ø  Family Challenges/Relationships

Ø  Social Skills/Self- Esteem

Ø  Loss and grief

Ø  Dealing with Bullies

Ø  Peer pressure

Ø  Study Skills/Test Anxiety

Ø  And more…
