In every educational institution, the emotional and psychological well-being of students is just as important as their academic success. The Guidance and Counselling Services plays a pivotal role in fostering a supportive and nurturing environment that helps students navigate the challenges they face in their personal, social, and academic lives.
Under the leadership of Guidance Counselor Jelyn V. Dela Torre and Guidance Designate Marrian De Jesus, the school’s Guidance and Counselling Services aims to provide students with the necessary tools and guidance to thrive. The services are designed to address a wide range of concerns, from academic difficulties and career exploration to personal challenges and mental health issues.
Jelyn V. Dela Torre, the dedicated Guidance Counselor, brings expertise in counseling and a passion for supporting students. Her role includes providing individual counseling sessions, facilitating group discussions, and offering workshops aimed at building students' self-esteem, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Alongside her, Marrian De Jesus, the Guidance Designate, assists in the daily operations of the guidance services, ensuring that students' needs are met in a timely and efficient manner.
Together, they work to create an environment where students feel safe, valued, and empowered to make informed decisions about their futures. The program not only helps students cope with current challenges but also equips them with the skills to become well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the world with confidence and purpose.
By addressing both academic and personal development, the Guidance and Counselling Services is an integral part of the school's commitment to holistic student development, ensuring that every student has the support they need to succeed, both inside and outside the classroom.
Our Guidance and Counseling Services for Students
At our school, we believe that the emotional, academic, and social well-being of our students is essential to their success. Our Guidance and Counseling Services are designed to provide the support students need to thrive. We offer a variety of services that aim to address the diverse challenges students face, helping them grow personally and academically. Below are the services we offer:
1. Individual Counseling
We provide one-on-one counseling sessions to support students with personal, academic, or emotional concerns. Whether students are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or any other personal struggles, we are here to help them navigate these challenges. Our goal is to guide students toward finding solutions and coping strategies that empower them to move forward.
2. Group Counseling
In addition to individual counseling, we offer group counseling sessions where students with similar concerns can come together to share experiences and support one another. These sessions provide a sense of community, and we focus on topics such as managing stress, building self-esteem, and improving communication skills.
3. Career Guidance and Planning
We assist students in exploring different career options based on their interests, skills, and values. We provide valuable information on various career paths, educational requirements, and potential opportunities. Additionally, we support students in preparing for college applications, writing resumes, and preparing for job interviews.
4. Academic Counseling
Our academic counseling services are aimed at helping students achieve their full potential in their studies. We assist students in setting academic goals, managing their time effectively, and improving their study habits. Whether a student is struggling with a particular subject or planning their course schedule, we are here to offer guidance and support.
5. Personal and Social Development
We work with students to enhance their personal and social development. This includes building self-esteem, improving interpersonal skills, and helping them manage relationships with peers. We also focus on conflict resolution and encourage positive social behaviors to ensure students develop healthy relationships.
6. Crisis Intervention
When students experience a crisis, such as the loss of a loved one or a traumatic event, we provide immediate support. We help students cope with the emotional impact of these situations and ensure they have the necessary resources and guidance. If further professional help is needed, we assist with referrals to external specialists.
7. Mental Health Support
We provide support for students dealing with mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, or stress. Our team offers a safe space for students to talk about their feelings, and we work with them to develop healthy coping mechanisms. If necessary, we also refer students to mental health professionals for additional support.
8. Test and Assessment Services
We administer various tests and assessments to help students better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and career interests. These results are valuable in guiding academic choices and career planning. We also offer counseling on the results and help students interpret their findings to make informed decisions.
9. Parental Involvement
We believe that collaboration with parents is key to supporting student success. We keep parents informed about their child's progress, behavior, and emotional well-being. We also organize workshops and meetings to foster open communication and work together in supporting students both at school and at home.
10. Referral Services
If a student requires specialized help beyond what we can provide in-house, we offer referral services to external professionals or agencies. Whether it's for mental health counseling, family therapy, or support with substance abuse, we ensure students have access to the necessary resources.
11. Orientation and Adjustment Services
For students transitioning into a new school year or those who are new to the school, we provide orientation and adjustment services. We help them adapt to their new environment, address any academic or social concerns, and make them feel welcome and supported.
Through these services, we aim to provide a comprehensive support system that helps our students succeed not only academically but also personally and emotionally. We are committed to creating a positive environment where every student can reach their full potential and feel supported throughout their educational journey.
