Our program adheres to both the National Standards for School Counseling Programs, and the Michigan Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Program. The Standards are based on providing success through activities designed to ensure students’ academic, career, and personal/social development. We recognize and abide by the American School Counselor Association Ethical Standards for School Counselors (1998) and the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice (1997), including right to privacy and confidentiality. Young people face greater risks than previous generations. Young adolescents are affected by our ever- changing world and are faced with more decisions than previous generations. Because of this, there are times when they 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. The Professional School Counselor is a certified teacher with a master's degree in school counseling. Ms. Farragh holds a B.S. in Education from Northern Michigan University, an M.S.W. from the University of Georgia, and an M.A.E. in School Counseling from Northern Michigan University. She has 28 years of experience working with children and their families as a teacher, school counselor, and clinical therapist. |
