-DVS Counselors

Location: Galileo Room

Many of our students have shared that they feel overwhelmed. They have ongoing concerns about COVID. They feel exhausted at the end of the day and understandably so considering they are still getting used to the transition between virtual school and school in person all day. Some feel enormous pressure surrounding college applications. Others feel anxious about their safety at school especially after the social media post earlier this week. Many of our students feel overwhelmed by a combination of the situations above. Feeling overwhelmed given the circumstances is understandable and we welcome students to talk about it.

The counselors are available to meet with students to provide support and to discuss their concerns. We also invite reaching out to us to share celebrations 😊. Students can meet with us on a drop in basis during office hours (M-F 8-8:15am, Tu: 2:15-3:20pm) or by sending us an email to schedule an appointment.
