Nothing should stand in the way of a child's learning. Nothing at all. Not child abuse, death of a loved one, disabilities, family crisis, peer problems, substance abuse, test anxiety... not anything.

What is a school counselor? A person who helps ALL children; a resource for teachers and parents; a liaison with outside agencies; a counselor; a coordinator; a consultant; a confidant to all.
