Hello,
The summer will be here before we know it!  Vacations, camps, and holidays can interrupt regular counseling participation. Typical challenges that are noticed during the school year often seem to “disappear” during the more relaxed summer months. This can be due to less school pressure or structured activities during the summer. Unfortunately, as soon as the requirements ramp up again, often so do anxiety, stress, depression, and other challenges.

Summer provides the perfect opportunity to “get a jump on” or “ramp up” counseling in preparation for the upcoming school year. Counseling in the summer allows for maintenance and practice of previously learned skills, which might decrease without regular support. It also helps students be proactive about potential challenges or issues for the next school year. During counseling, students can learn new coping techniques and “beef up” their coping toolbox. 

This summer I will be offering counseling services to WWG High School students on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7:45 am to 3:45 pm.

I will be in Walnut Grove on the following Tuesdays:
June: 21, 28
July: 5, 12, 26
August: 2, 9, 16, 23

I will be in Westbrook on the following Wednesdays:
June: 22, 29
July: 6, 13, 27
August: 3, 10, 17, 24

I will be meeting with students at the Elementary or High School, or in local public places, whatever works best for the student.  For those students who live outside of Walnut Grove or Westbrook, I can travel to the student to meet in a local public place. Please contact me, or complete the Summer School Counseling Registration Form to set up meeting dates, times, and locations throughout the summer.  I will be meeting with students weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 3 weeks over the summer.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I am really looking forward to working with students over the summer!


Sincerely,

Kristy Campbell
