What is School Counseling
What is School Counseling
School Counselors are certified professionals who support students' academic, social, emotional, and personal growth through various services on campus. They offer classroom guidance, small groups, one-on-one sessions, and daily interactions to help students understand themselves, manage emotions, and succeed academically.
School Counselors help students manage crises, build skills, and solve problems to succeed in school and are not therapist. Therapists provide more intensive, personalized, and ongoing therapy.
Conversations with school counselors are confidential unless there's a safety concern.
Transformative SEL Standards
The California Department of Education (CDE) and CASEL support Transformational Social Emotional Learning Standards (T-SEL), which guide the development of social/emotional skills for students at different ages and grades. These standards are based on CASEL's five core competencies. Check them out for more details!
