Individual Support is available to all students at the request of teachers, families, or students. We are a resource to help students succeed in school. Individual support within the school setting is short term. If your child tells you he/she met with us, please don't be alarmed. Sometimes students self-refer and visit with us once or twice, and are able to solve their own problem. If students come to our office more than twice or it is of a serious nature families are contacted. We feel fortunate to be able to spend time listening to students while providing a safe setting to help them work through challenges. We feel as though we are safe friend a Citrus Grove who are available to help students academically and emotionally.
