WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL: Counselors are excited about the school year


The West Middle School Counseling Department is feeling very positive about how the 2013-2014 school year has gone so far.

They have been working diligently with students, parents and staff all year and are extremely excited about all the extra services we have been able to offer.

West joined forces with the Taylor Teen Health to offer a 12-week group counseling curriculum and the students seemed to enjoy the program greatly.  Taylor Teen Health ran a girls and boys group focusing on personal/social areas with several students.  They also offered a Focus Group that helped students with organization and study skills.

West counselors are also thrilled that Henry Ford Sand Castles has come in to facilitate a group for students that are grieving the loss of a loved one.  The group had its first session recently and the students involved have already given us a lot of positive feedback. 

West plans to offer these groups and others, in future years, as it continues to determine the needs of its students.
