The School Counseling Program
The Capistrano Unified School District counseling program ensures that all students develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will lead to behaviors that support academic achievement and social-emotional well-being. This is achieved through services such as:
- Classroom-based lessons (in grades TK-8) including the Second Step curriculum for social-emotional learning, CUSD cultural proficiency lessons, lessons created by the School Counselor based on current student needs, and a suicide prevention lesson for 7th graders
- Small group counseling for students to build skills alongside peers
- Conflict resolution using restorative practices
- Individual counseling using short, solution-focused sessions aimed at giving students the tools they will need to solve problems on their own
- Crisis counseling for students who exhibit signs of being a danger to themself or others
- Providing referrals for families to access community resources
