The goal to the HKMS Counseling Team is to promote success and well-being by working cooperatively working with students, parents, teachers, staff and the community. Each member of the HKMS counseling support team plays a unique role within the HKMS community.

 

 

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is based on a confidential relationship between the student and counselor (unless safety is a concern). During these sessions, students set personal goals, problem-solve, and learn strategies to cope with stressors. While individual counseling aims to support students in all aspects of school, including academic, social, and emotional development, our work is school-based and school-focused.

Group Counseling
Groups are formed when common needs arise for small groups of students. These groups meet during non-academic times of the day such as lunch or Extended Learning Time. Some examples of topics that our groups include are transition to middle school, preparing for the transition to high school, balancing school and social life, stress reduction, and managing social conflicts.
