Students can come see their counselor for any concern or question that may arise during their time in middle school.  Whether this means issues with a friend or another student at school, struggles with coming to school or staying at school, worries or difficult times at home, dealing with big emotions, safety concerns, or questions about your future, your grades, or yourself, your school counselor can help! Sometimes a school counselor can also help think through a situation that is challenging to help find the solution that works best for you. When students come and talk with their counselor, what they talk about is confidential. That means that unless your counselor thinks you are hurting yourself, planning to hurt someone else, or thinks someone else might be hurting you, they won't talk about it with anyone else. There are times though when they best way your counselor can help is by getting someone else, like a parent or teacher, involved. However, in cases that are not a safety concern, your counselor will always plan this with you.
