SCHOOL COUNSELING Sample Clauses

The SCHOOL COUNSELING clause defines the responsibilities and scope of counseling services provided to students within an educational institution. It typically outlines the types of support available, such as academic guidance, personal development, and crisis intervention, and may specify the qualifications required for counselors or the process for students to access these services. By clearly establishing the framework for counseling, this clause ensures students have access to necessary support resources and clarifies the institution’s obligations, thereby promoting student well-being and addressing potential issues proactively.

The school counselors also coordinate developmentally appropriate programming aimed at educating students and parents on pertinent social and mental health issues. Students may seek support themselves or may be referred by parents or teachers for counseling services. Partnership with families is a valuable component in supporting student success and parents are encouraged to communicate with their child’s counselor when issues arise. When the school counselor determines a student to be in crisis, the counselor will immediately contact the parents. Where appropriate, the school may request that they obtain a medical and/or psychological evaluation for their daughter. Where appropriate, a student may not be permitted to return to school until written notification of the outcome of this evaluation and any recommended interventions is provided to the counselor, so that unified support may be provided during a critical period.

  • Counseling Services Therapy is a relationship between people that works in part because of clearly defined rights and responsibilities held by each person. As a client in mental health counseling, you have certain rights and responsibilities that are important for you to understand. There are also legal limitations to those rights that you should be aware of. I, as your therapist, have corresponding responsibilities to you. These rights and responsibilities are described in the following sections. Mental Health Counseling has both benefits and risks. Risks may include experiencing uncomfortable feelings, such as sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration, loneliness and helplessness, because the process of psychotherapy often requires discussing the unpleasant aspects of your life. However, psychotherapy has been shown to have benefits for individuals who undertake it. Therapy often leads to a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, increased skills for managing stress and resolutions to specific problems. But, there are no guarantees about what will happen. Psychotherapy requires a very active effort on your part. In order to be most successful, you will have to work on things we discuss in treatment outside of sessions, as a kind of homework. The first 2 sessions will involve a comprehensive evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some initial impressions of what our work might include. At that point, we will discuss your treatment goals and create an initial treatment plan. You should evaluate this information and make your own assessment about whether you feel comfortable working with me. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion or to make a move to another therapist that feels like a better fit.
