CORE Counselors
​
The Counselors at CORE Community School offer support to our students, their parents/guardians, and faculty. We are dedicated to supporting the whole student – we believe students are more than just a sum of their parts and require a dynamic approach to help them evolve into conscientious, happy, successful human beings. With this strength-based approach in mind, we look intentionally at how they can grow academically, socially, and physically within the classroom and as global citizens. 
Individual counseling check-ins may be arranged at the request of a student, parent, teacher, or other staff member, and are short-term in nature. The counselor may speak with students about issues such as friendship, difficulty in the classroom, conflict resolution, anger, grief and loss, and other varied topics. We are available throughout the school day to support any emerging needs and provide respite and solution-focused skills. On occasion, we may offer regular weekly mini-check-ins for students that need a little additional support to maintain a healthy connection with school while reinforcing coping and conflict resolution skills.
 
Due to the nature of a school environment, one of the goals of the counselors is to assist the student in being able to engage in their school day. For students that require more intensive one on one support that is outside the scope of what can be done within our school environment, the counselors are happy to provide referrals to outside specialists to ensure that students can have their needs met in a safe space outside of their school setting.
