Scholar M recently lost her brother to Covid. Life has been hard and she has been tired, emotional, and detached from school. Scholar M can meet with the school counselor for weekly scheduled meetings and work on coping strategies, talking it out, family support, and helping provide framework for motivational purpose of school. Scholar M can also rely on the counseling support in times of immediate crisis during the school day where she can ask the teacher to contact the school counselor for an emergency break/space/check in.
School counselor provides teachers with information and plan, as well as supporting social emotional space and items (fidgets, journals, etc.) for the classroom for not only Scholar M but for any scholar that may need it.
