School Counselors are highly trained professionals with an understanding of child development, social-emotional needs and learning strategies for children in grades K-12.  School counselors do not work in isolation within the school setting.  They provide a proactive curriculum of instruction and services to meet the needs of each student. They collaborate with teachers, administrators and families. They also work to provide information and referrals to community agencies.   Services within a school setting include meeting students individually, in small groups or classroom lessons.
