• Emotional & Social Health

    In each virtual classroom, students can find the Counselor's Corner and access my virtual counseling office. There, they will find a variety of (mostly online) resources to help them feel better. Students can also talk to me during my office hours. I am always happy to help students and caregivers find ways of feeling better and doing better that will work for your family.

    Below are some additional resources to explore.

     

  • Dougy Center for Grieving Children and Families

    This links to a national center for grieving children and families. Although the clinic is based in Oregon, there are many online resources free for families. You can find suggestions of books, activities, and other ideas for supporting children who are struggling with grief and loss.
