Counseling Services
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling sessions are intended to provide support to students with academic, personal or social concerns. Sessions are by appointment only and may be set up by the student via the "East Lee Counseling Request Form" on the webpage. In addition to students making self-referrals, administrators, teachers and parents can also make referrals to the counselor via the "East Lee Counseling Request Form". Sessions are generally scheduled during a student's PAV time to minimize disruptions to core classes. All sessions are confidential.
Small Group Counseling
Small groups are formed when students share a similar concern and can provide support to one another by working together to deal with a specific problem. Small group counseling sessions consist of 3-8 students and meet for 30-45 minutes over the course of several weeks. Topics appropriate for small group counseling may include: friendship skills, cooperation, organization, self-esteem, grief and study skills.
Classroom Lessons
Classroom lessons serve as a tool to educate students on a specific topic. Lessons are educational but incorporate fun and engaging activities that help students practice the skills they are taught. Classroom guidance lessons are planned around special schoolwide events such as Red Ribbon Week, bullying prevention and National School Counseling Week or delivered to students based on a specific need as indicated by the teacher.
