Peer Counseling- In the Clark Peer Counseling class students are trained in listening/communication skills. Once the training is complete, students are then available to talk with peers who request to see a Peer Counselor. During these "sessions", students are able to talk about issues they may be struggling with; i.e., family problems, academic problems, peer problems, etc. Peer Counselors do not give advice but attempt to help the struggling student come up with good solutions. The Peer Counselors are supervised by Mrs. Lisa Brown. This is a wonderful resource for students who prefer to speak to someone closer to their own age. If you have any questions about Clark Peer Counseling, please contact [email protected]
