The middle school counseling program involves a range of activities designed to support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth during this stage of development. School counselors collaborate with teachers, school leaders, and families to provide students with appropriate support. The program aims to help students navigate the unique challenges of middle school, develop resilience and coping skills, and add to their foundational skills to prepare them for high school.
