Sunrise School Counseling
Sunrise Elementary School has a full time counselor to help with the mental and emotional well being of the students who attend the school. Mrs. Hansen does individual counseling, groups, classroom presentations, and has a self-referral system (children can sign up to talk to the counselor, but if they come more than once, they need parent permission). The school counselor works with students grades K-6 grade on a variety of subjects including friend skills, anxiety, depression, anger, problems with focus, problems with friends, mindfulness, and other mental and emotional issues. The purpose of a school counselor is not to provide therapy, but to provide coping and social emotional skills to children. The school counselor also connects parents and children to outside resources if necessary or desired.
The law states that an elementary school counselor is allowed to see a child one time before they need parent permission. If you would like your child to work with the school counselor on a regular basis, please contact the school counselor. If you elect to have your child see the counselor, individual sessions last for 10-20 minutes once a week (or less often as needed). The school counselor coordinates with the teachers, so the child's learning schedule is not interrupted during important class times.
If you have any questions or would like to reach out to Sunrise's school counselor, please contact the school, and they can direct you to the school counselor.
