Lesson Plan

Counselor Connection Lesson Plan

Students will learn the role and purpose of the school counselor, understand how and when to seek counseling support, and practice identifying situations where a counselor can help.

Introducing counseling services early builds trust, reduces stigma around seeking help, and empowers students to advocate for their emotional well-being, fostering a supportive school climate.
