About our Counseling Department (Pre-k to 12)

Building connections between students and their school is important so they feel comfortable and safe. There is a direct relationship between a student's feelings of physical and emotional safety and their ability to learn and thrive.

Counseling staff members participate in a variety of mental health training. Some areas where they can support you and your child include:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Suicide and self harm
• Coping with grief and loss
• Identity and gender expression (LGBTQIA+)
• Understanding and managing emotions
• Common mental illness among children and adolescents
• Eating disorders
• Strengthening relationships
• Substance use and abuse
• Impact of divorce on students and families

Mental Health training is provided annually to our entire faculty and staff.  Additional training in restorative practices, neurodiversity, mental health first aid, resiliency, Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and diversity equity and inclusion have been part of our ongoing training for faculty and staff.

We have also partnered with Contact Community Services to offer Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Diagnoses in Health Classes
