The Guidance School-to-Home Connection

School Stress
Parent Communication
Young people face greater risks than previous generations:
  • Young people face increasing violence in our society and in their schools.
  • Some young people face hopelessness that can lead to self-destructive behavior.
  • Children affected by these and other issues are not able to achieve at their full academic potential. The counselor's primary task is to help them become better learners by providing a comprehensive program that includes responsive services, individual planning, systems support and a guidance curriculum.

In Our Changing World
  • By age 21, today's young people have faced more decisions than their grandparents faced in a lifetime.
  • One out of five families move each year.
  • Everyone faces career decisions.
