If you want to get in touch with a school counselor, the best way to do this is to schedule an appointment. This can either be done in their office or at the front office; you may also be able to schedule one online. Before the appointment, think about what you need or want from your counselor; you might even want to write it down so you do not forget. School counselors are great listeners and are trained to help children and adolescents work through their problems and maintain their school grades along with healthy relationships. The main reason for a counselor to work in a school is because they love kids; it is important to keep this in mind as it can affect the tone of the meeting. However, there are other types of counselors, such as educational counselors, that do not always work in schools. To get in touch with a private educational counselor, call their practice and set up an appointment.
