Counseling Information

Our counselors serve as a resource to school leadership and as the connection between students, families, and community resources for mental and behavioral health needs. They coordinate services and support aimed at every Vanguard student’s social, emotional, and academic success.

Families in need are encouraged to reach out directly to their student’s counselor.

Family plays the primary role in a student’s success. As educators, we strive to support mental health in the school context because it is so central to our students’ social, emotional, and academic success. If you know of a child who is struggling and would benefit from additional support, please reach out to school officials.

First and foremost, please make your child aware of Safe2Tell. The service is completely anonymous and is a way for students to get help for themselves or a friend. Teenagers sometimes do not report because they worry they will get in trouble or be labeled by their peers, so please emphasize that reporting is anonymous. It is equally valuable for students concerned about their own safety who may not feel comfortable speaking up in person.
