Elementary counseling and guidance services are available to all students, not just those in a crisis situation.

Referrals can come from teachers, agencies, staff, and/or concerned members of the community.

School counselors and school social workers work predominately with school related issues. They are not therapists. When issues go beyond their training, parents are encouraged to seek therapy within the community

"Studies show that high-quality counseling can prevent students from turning to violence, drug, or alcohol abuse, as well as improve grades and reduce classroom disruptions." -Former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige
