School Counselor

A School Counselor has a cozy office at school with a comfy chair, a box of tissues, and shelves of books and games. On a regular day, they talk with students one by one or in small groups. For example, a child who feels nervous about a spelling test might draw their worries on paper, and the School Counselor helps them find calm ways to feel braver. They also visit classrooms to teach about kindness and feelings, and they work with teachers and families as a team.

When someone feels heard, learning gets easier. A School Counselor helps kids sort out big feelings, like missing a friend or feeling left out at recess. They help students make friends again, set goals, and figure out what they'd like to learn next. It's a bit like being a helper who makes sure everyone in school has someone to talk to.
