Counselors do so much for students and staff in the building. They are patient, kind, poised, and compassionate. They shoulder more grief, pain, and dysfunction than most of us can imagine, and they are invaluable to our schools. They deserve our recognition and respect.
There are no BAD kids!
There are kids who:
-have been traumatized
-have little hope for the future
-haven’t experienced success or love
-haven’t learned to regulate emotions
-have been repeatedly disappointed by adults
It’s NEVER too late to help a kid who is struggling!
