Counseling

Why is mental health important? Youth learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others. Youth who understand their feelings are better able to control their behavior. We know that stress can affect focus and learning, but its impact can be reduced with proven self-regulation strategies. Schools, parents, and communities that communicate and collaborate provide the most effective support to children. Attitudes formed early on shape future attitudes towards learning, self, and society.

The mental health team strives to provide each student with a safe, caring, and nurturing environment that fosters their unique talents and strengths, and helps them acquire the necessary attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be successful in their education and become well-rounded individuals.
