Throughout the year, the Sunrise counselor visits classrooms, typically once every month, to address a variety of topics. Individual and small group counseling is provided when the need arises, typically on a daily basis. Emphasis is placed on developing ownership of one's life and not blaming others. I'm a big believer in encouraging students to take responsibility for what is under their control and leaving the rest go. I teach students to become aware of available resources and use them in creative ways to better their lives.
