Counseling Programs and Services

Guidance Lessons

I teach meaningful, engaging guidance lessons in all classrooms focusing on a wide range of topics, like bullying, test-taking strategies, emotional regulation, and friendship skills. This is to support students' academic, social, and emotional success. Lessons are tailored to meet the individualized needs of each grade level.

Individual Counseling

I provide short-term, individualized counseling to meet the mental health and behavioral needs of my students. My main focus is addressing problems that impede success within the school environment. Also, I recognize and respond to students who have experienced trauma or are in a state of crisis. If a student requires ongoing, long-term support, I refer the family to community agencies and resources.

Small Group Counseling

Group counseling is offered every year based on need. These groups are short-term, and goal focused. Students learn strategies that will help them be successful in and out of the classroom. Small group topics might include understanding and managing anxiety, emotional regulation, and friendship skills. 

KEYS Mentoring

KEYS stands for Keep Encouraging Youth Towards Success. The KISD KEYS program matches caring adults with students. The primary focus is on relationship building as opposed to tutoring. 

PALS

PALS stands for Peer Assistance and Leadership. This is a mentoring program in which selected CRHS students visit with JWE students weekly on our campus to play games and build relationships.
