SCHOOL COUNSELORS
School counselors are trained to help students with all sorts of things. Their role is different at each school, but here are some things WE as a school focus on
STUDENT COUNSELING
Overwhelmed by classwork? Scared because your parents are splitting up? Worried about a friend? Feel like you don’t fit in? With a problem on your mind, you may lose sleep.
You might find you can’t focus on homework. If problems pile up, you could even become depressed. Everyone goes through tough times — but you don’t have to sort through them alone. When you need support or advice, Alok Vidyashram’s Counselors can be a great person to talk with.
WE try helping with school and career planning
For Example:
- help the children plan their schedule
- coach them on study skills o help if they are having problems in a class or want to improve their grades
- advise them on taking the right classes to get into their dream college o help them find out how to prepare for the SATs
- offer advice on how to write a college application essay or how to prepare a job application
- help them learn about careers and plan for life after high school
- offer learning support for students who need extra help, or provide a quiet classroom where students can do schoolwork
WE try to help with personal issues.
- be good and thoughtful listeners give them support when they want to share a problem
- talk things through with them and help them make good decisions
- help them get extra help if you need it o students with social anxiety
- dealing with grief when a loved one dies
- learning mindfulness o improving study skills
What if you don’t have a Problem?
Students can talk to counselors about things other than problems. Maybe you have ideas for ways to make your school more welcoming to new students. Or you want to hold a fundraiser for a cause that matters to you. Maybe you want to start a climate action group or a group that can help stop youth violence. You might want to organize student volunteers to tutor younger kids. Our school counselor can be the person to help you make it happen. Even if you don’t have a problem, the school counselor can be a good person to know. They might turn out to be a helpful adult mentor — someone who can guide you through High school or toward a career that fits your strengths. So, stop in and say hello. Share what’s going well for you. And if you need their help or advice, just ask!
