Counseling
If you have a social-emotional concern about a student, the School Counselor at your school should be your first contact for assistance.
The school counselors in San Luis Coastal Unified School District are committed to providing a coordinated and consistent program of services to all students. They implement schoolwide programs and presentations for students, staff and families promoting student wellness, suicide prevention & intervention, trauma informed practices, academic planning and career exploration. Classroom lessons and schoolwide activities focus on the SEL Competencies; Social Awareness, Self Awareness, Self Management, Relationship Skills and Responsible Decision Making. Our School Counselors provide short-term small group and individual counseling based on student needs and collaborate with school staff and outside agencies to refer students in need of intervention. Our School Counselors at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels are PPS Credentialed and hold themselves to the highest standards. School Counselors work closely with their site Administration, as well as community agencies to help support the whole child.
