School Counseling Services

Character Strong Featured Characteristic:

 

Every four weeks we learn about a new characteristic that helps create a character strong person. Students will receive full classroom guidance lessons every six weeks to learn how to shine like a Southwood Star! We are starting our year off with a Kindness Kickoff!

 

Small Groups:

Small groups are developed on an as needed basis to provide additional support to our students. Small groups is a wonderful way to provide an extra skill set to those students in need. Small groups are run throughout the year focusing on student success. 

 

Individual Counseling:

Students may refer themselves or their friends.  Students may also be referred to see me from parents, teachers, and administration.

 

Confidentiality:

Confidentiality and your family's privacy are important to me.  What you or your child discuss with a counselor is private except in cases required by law:

  • he/she says it is okay to tell
  • if a child is being hurt
  • if a child is in danger
  • if a child is hurting themselves or others (if a child is being hurt, in danger or hurting themselves or others, then by law we must get the person in need help).
