Question 1

Answer 1
The school counselor supports students, parents, teachers, and staff of a school. The school counselor provides response services to students in a time of need so that they can have a more positive educational experience. The school counselor sometimes provides information to parents, teachers, or other staff members as they feel they need that information to make their student/child's school experience more rewarding. The school counselor is also responsible for leading guidance lessons.
Question 2

Answer 2
Response services are when a child or children come in because an issue has come up that makes it difficult for the child(ren) function. Sometimes, the type of response is individual play counseling, art counseling, or talk counseling. Other times, the appropriate response is group counseling.
Question 3

Answer 3
Group counseling is where a group of students are brought together to "work" on similar issues. Some examples of groups are: Divorce (Banana Splits), Grief, Social Skills, and Anger Management. Groups that are formed at Carver are based on the needs of the students. The number will be dictated by the counselor's guidance schedule.
Question 4

Answer 4
It depends. Some students will visit once. Others will be seen nearly every week. Groups will usually run for about 6 sessions but that will depend on the needs of the students as well.
Question 5

Answer 5
Most people who see a counselor simply needs to learn some extra tools in order to deal with the changes that life sends us.
Question 6

Answer 6
The counselor will contact you either by phone or by a note if the phone contact could not be made.
Question 7

Answer 7
"Guidance" is an abbreviated term for guidance lessons which are lessons that school counselors present to whole classes of students at one time. Sometimes, your child will say, "I saw the counselor today." and that is the experience they had. If your child comes to me for a different reason, I will make every effort to contact you by phone. If I can't reach you by phone, I will send a note home.
Question 8

Answer 8
Maybe. While it is true, that children are sent to see the counselor when they have been disruptive, school counselors do not impose punishments. Our job is to help the child discover why he or she may be acting out (self awareness) and give them strategies to help cope with the challenges they may be facing.
