Counseling Services Overview

We are excited to be a part of the Florence Hill family! Our role as the counselors is to promote the success and well-being of all students. We are here to provide support for students and their families.

As counselors, we have a comprehensive school counseling program to ensure student success.  There are four components to the program:

Guidance

We present classroom lessons in order to develop the students’ self-awareness, and encourage the application of life skills. Some of the topics for these lessons include bullying, harassment, safety, friendship, goal setting, diversity, and drug/alcohol awareness.

Responsive Services

We work to meet the immediate needs of students and their families. As counselors, we address those concerns and help remove barriers to learning through individual or small group counseling. We can also provide referrals to outside agencies to assistance families with shelter, clothing, food, and other needs.

Individual Planning

We help students plan for their future by assisting them in discovering their strengths, setting goals and self-monitoring. We also help them monitor, understand, and control their own behavior, skills, and development. We work with students on social skills acquisition, college/career awareness, and personal relationships.
