Happy National School Counseling Week!
This week, and always, we would like to show our immense gratitude for the work our counseling team does day in and day out.
"Counseling" and "psychology" are complex dynamics and fields that require an incredible about of dedication, discipline, and intrinsic motivation to perform well. Behind the ubiquitous "closed doors" of counseling are comprehensive, sacred, highly developed relationships that seek to uncover, explore, and heal our student's inner worlds. In those offices, our counselors are helping our students put their headspaces back together so they can optimize their school day and ultimately achieve fulfilling lives outside of APTS. Students are teaching their counselors about THEIR lived experiences. That is an incredibly difficult job to do as a party of one.
So, here is a massive, well deserved, "thank you" to our counselors, for their commitment to school mental health/school psychology for our students and staff. Your undefinable position is essential and likely some of the most meaningful relationships our students can have.
Please take a moment to thank your respective campus counselor when you see them!
