Counseling

COVID-19 Update

How Counselors will be Utilizing their Time During This Closure?

During our closure IHS counselors will continue with course registration conferencing for current 9-11 grade students. We will be utilizing email and limited ZOOM conferencing to communicate with our students and families.

Will Counselors be Hosting Mental Health Conferences?

Due to liability and legal concerns counselors will not be able to accommodate some of our regular meetings with students surrounding topics of mental health and safety. Students who have been working with our mental health counselor, Caleb Visser, have been contacted to move their appointments to Caleb’s office at Northshore Youth and Family Services.
