I love when students drop by my office- even for a minute or two! Sometimes when they are waiting for Nurse Whitman they say a quick "Hello" and use my dart board or give a hug to one of my stuffed animals. The ease with which they come and go is wonderful, and it lessens any "stigma" that may exist about visiting the School Counselor's office! Calvert Students are, in general, very comfortable talking with me- whether in the classroom or in my office. However, students new to school could be shy about it, and coming in with classmates is always a way to start. Then, if there is an individual concern, they are more apt to self-refer or ask their teacher or parent for an appointment. Many children talk to me about friendship issues, as you can imagine, but also about loss of any kind, worries, test anxiety, goal-setting, and decision-making. I commend you as parents for raising such articulate and compassionate kids- they are a pleasure to work with!
