PWCS Policy on Virtual Counseling

The counseling department is not providing virtual mental health counseling during school distance learning. However, the counseling department is available to provide consultation and support to students and parents with connection to community resources. Below are also several links that may help should your child need immediate mental health counseling support.

Parents or parents with their child(ren) can schedule a video conference with someone in the counseling department if they have questions or concerns about resources and recommendations to assist their child(ren) with any mental health or basic needs. Please understand that this will be consultation only. Furthermore, the counseling department will offer office hours when virtual learning is in session (April 13-June 12, 2020) on Mondays from 1:00-3:30 PM. Should you request assistance outside of office hours your inquiry will be answered as soon as possible during our traditional school hours from 8:00 am until 3:00 PM.

Please be advised that during any virtual sessions the counseling staff will continue to adhere to the limits of confidentiality. Limits of confidentiality include, if a student reports potential self-harm, harm to someone else, someone is harming them or any risky behavior. For more information Please click here to see PWCS Regulation 651-2 regarding the confidentiality of student-disclosed information.
