OUR SERVICES
Just as every student is different and unique, so is every school or school district. Therefore, every program is uniquely designed and may include components from both group and student services. For example, a school might ask for a lecture series while also contracting with us to provide individualized counseling for their high school students. Additionally, another school may ask for a career exploration class from which the student may earn high school credit.
