We realize that in our changing world: ·
By age 21, today's young people have
faced more decisions than their grandparents faced in a lifetime.
·
One out of five families move each year.
·
Everyone faces career decisions.
Young people face greater risks than previous generations: ·
Young people face critical decisions about sexuality.
·
Young people face increasing violence in our society and in their schools.
·
Some young people face hopelessness that can lead to self-destructive behavior.
Children affected by these and other issues are not able to achieve at their full academic potential. The counselor's primary task is to help them become better learners by providing a comprehensive program that includes responsive services, individual planning, systems support and a guidance curriculum.
