Counseling

The goal of counseling at New Story Schools is to enhance the student’s participation in their educational program and improve their ability to function in social, emotional, and behavioral capacities. A school counselor uses assessment, group or individual counseling, and mediation to assist students with academic, social, personal, and career development. School counselors function as part of the multi-disciplinary team and help coordinate efforts that support a student's academic success.

New Story Schools Counselors work with students in areas of:

• Developing self-awareness
• Learning and practice conflict resolution
• Gaining independence and responsibility
• Accepting differences in others
• Bullying
• Issues at home
• Academic struggles
• Counselors may refer to resources outside of the school setting as needed
