Classroom Lessons:

We work with each class teaching 3 classroom units throughout the school year. Classroom lessons are developmentally appropriate and are often based on individual grade-level needs. Some of the topics include, but are not limited to:*

* Conflict Resolution (Kelso’s Choice)

* Friendship Skills(Peace First Curriculum)

* Emotions/Feelings

* Career Exploration

* Bullying Behavior

* Peer Mediation Training

* Stress Management

Small Groups:

Throughout the school year, we facilitate several small groups based on need. Typically, these groups run for 6 weeks, with no more than 6 students of the same grade level. We try to meet with these groups during their lunch period once a week, to ensure that they do not miss instructional time. Students typically are referred to these groups by teachers and/or parents. 

* Grief and Loss

* Friendship

* Social Skills

* Self-esteem

Individual Counseling:

Individual counseling is provided on a short-term (typically no more the 3-5 sessions) basis to students based on specific needs. Parents, teachers and students can refer themselves to see me. Students in grades 3-5 can fill out a Counselor Gram to make appointments to see the Counselor. Counselor Grams are found in classrooms and on my office door. Frequent needs include:

* Grief and Loss

* Friendship

* Emotional Regulation

* School Anxiety
