COUNSELING
Welcome! At South Shore Charter Public School, our counseling staff is available to support students through the challenges facing them while at school. We strive to foster an environment that embraces healthy social and emotional development, encourages positive mental health, and supports young people in the challenges they may encounter, while empowering students to develop the skills necessary to meet and exceed their goals.
Support is available for students in both school buildings. If you feel that your child would benefit from seeing a member of our counseling staff, please contact us.
