Our Barrett Student Services/Mental Health Team consists of our School Counselor, School Psychologist, School Social Worker, and Sped Coordinator.
The following services are provided by the student services team:
- Individual Counseling (Provided by School Counselor, School Psychologist, & School Social Worker)
Assist students to better understand themselves, deal with interpersonal relationships, and resolve problems that might interfere with learning. Crisis intervention is also provided when needed.
- Small Group Counseling, also known as ‘Lunch Bunches’ (Provided by School Counselor, School Psychologist, & School Social Worker)
An opportunity for students to meet and gain skills in communicating, problem solving, and interacting with others.
- Classroom Counseling Lessons (Provided by School Counselor)
Designed to reach students in grades K-5. Classroom lessons help foster respect, responsibility, empathy, leadership skills, and celebrate diversity. Lessons are given on a biweekly basis and align with the 5 CASEL Competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. We also cover topics including bullying prevention, career, transition to middle school (5th grade), and substance abuse prevention (4th & 5th grade). The lessons are interactive, creative, evidence-based, and often use books, videos, music, and projects to teach students how to be successful.
