Social-Emotional Supports

Counseling & Behavioral Services
Parents and guardians are normally the first people to notice emotional and/or behavioral concerns with their child, but it is important to contact a professional if he/she is experiencing severe and/or chronic distress. School professionals may also contact parents regarding behaviors they consider concerning. Seeing a health professional can help.
