JHS's SEL Supports for Students
School Social Workers
Help students and families address social, emotional, behavioral, and community-based needs.
School Psychologist
Support learning and well-being through consultation, assessment, intervention, and problem-solving.
Student Assistance Counselor
Provides substance-use prevention, early intervention, counseling, and support for students and families.
How To Ask For Help
Students may seek support by speaking with their school counselor, social worker, psychologist, administrator, teacher, nurse, or another trusted adult. Families may contact their student’s school counselor or the main office when they have concerns about a student’s social-emotional well-being.
Students do not need to know exactly which professional to contact. Any trusted staff member can help connect them with the appropriate support.
Privacy and Safety
School staff respects student privacy while taking necessary action when safety concerns arise. The website and staff email should not be used for emergencies. If a student may be in immediate danger, contact the school or emergency services directly.
