All counseling is confidential and follows agency, and HIPPA, regulations.   

Additional programming includes school staff in full, or half, day trainings, parent presentations, wellness day activities, community based programs, after-school programs, and summer programs.  Topics include: decision making, problem solving skills, assertiveness, stress and anger management, and effective communication.  Our prevention programming is state approved and evidence based to learn the dangers of drug and alcohol use, and violence, and the skills necessary to resist.
