Mental Health Services
Students of military families often experience multiple stressors before and during their parent’s deployment and when they come home. Without appropriate mental health support systems, children of military personnel may be at a significant disadvantage compared with their peers in non-military families. Military students are resilient but there are resources available to help.
What is the counselor’s role in the school?
Lauderdale County School Counselors take part in everyday school activities and events. They are available to support students and are also available to facilitate groups and trainings to build leadership skills, manage anger, build self-esteem and confidence and strengthen communication
Do counselors keep records about students and families?
Services provided by counselors are private and confidential with the exception of mandatory federal and military reporting requirements (i.e., child abuse, domestic violence and other life-threatening situations). No counseling records are maintained.
Southeast Elementary partners with WEEMS Mental Health Service to provide counseling services to students.
