Sample Issues 

Students may deal with a variety of different issues throughout childhood or adolescence. Below is a list of sample issues that K-12 students may experience. Some of these issues may be specific to certain, while others consistent throughout all age groups. A school counselor can help a student with these issues, but are not qualified to treat/diagnose students like other mental health professionals. If a school counselor feels the student needs more consistent counseling, or has reason to suspect a mental or emotional disorder they should refer to a mental health counselor or clinical psychologist.
