The Role of a School Counselor

My job at Meyer is to make sure that all our students are academically, socially, and emotionally successful at our school. I work with students, teachers, and parents to facilitate a positive school experience. School counseling services are delivered in four specific ways:

Individual Student Planning – assisting students with goal formation/planning (behavioral, academic, etc.)
Responsive Services – meeting immediate student needs (counseling, crisis intervention, consultation, referral, peer mediation, information-providing.)
System Support – school-wide program planning and implementation. As well aass consulting with other professionals, coordination of various supports for students and families.
