School counselors in community schools play a pivotal role in fostering student success, providing vital support to both students and their families, and creating a supportive and inclusive educational environment.

​

Student Support​

Social and Emotional Support:

• Offer a safe and confidential space for students to discuss personal concerns or emotional challenges.

• Provide counseling and coping strategies for issues such as stress, anxiety, peer relationships, bullying, and family difficulties.

• Organize group counseling sessions or workshops on topics like conflict resolution, anger management, and resilience.

• Refer students to external mental health professionals when necessary.

​

Family Support:

• Communicate with parents/guardians about their child's academic and social progress.

• Offer resources and referrals for family-related challenges, such as parenting workshops, family counseling, or community services.

• Collaborate with families to create a supportive home environment that encourages learning and positive behavior.
