- When severe changes in a student's behavior occur
- When a student is having difficulty dealing with family changes or situations
- When something seems to be bothering a student to the point of distraction or intense anxiety

Visit Types
Students can meet with the school counselor in a variety of ways. Most commonly, school counselors work with students through:
- One on One Meetings: Student and counselor meet independently to go over any concerns or work on behavior.
- Small Groups: Peer groups of 4-6 students meet to work on character development or group issues.
- Classroom Guidance: Counselor visits classrooms to talk with students about a variety of topics.
