Through social emotional support, students work on skills that help them:

• Understand and respect themselves and others
• Build healthy relationships and communication skills
• Make thoughtful decisions
• Set goals and take steps toward achieving them
• Develop strategies for safety, problem solving, and self advocacy

Students who need support are encouraged to reach out to their school counselor or another trusted adult in the building.
