Counseling & Mental Health Support

  • NCISD School Counselors, District Crisis/Behavior Intervention Counselors, and our Community Mental Health partners are available and ready to support our students and families.

    Accessing Counselors:

    School counselors will be available to meet with students and take appointments during normal operating hours.  Counselors can be contacted by email or phone. You can find contact information for your school counselor on your campus website under About or Academics, then select Counseling.

     

    Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Resources

    We know that how a person thinks, or their mindset, is a powerful determinant of the quality of life they experience. Competency in social emotional skills is particularly beneficial in these uncertain times. To assist students and families in developing optimal mindsets, weekly SEL lessons are available in the CORE Connections course in Canvas. School counselors are available to assist students and families with lesson facilitation. In addition to the weekly lessons, supplemental Social Emotional Well-Being Activities are available in the Counselor Support Canvas course.

     

    District Crisis/Behavior Intervention Counselors:

    Parents/guardians can reach out to district crisis/behavior intervention counselors during normal operating hours for additional mental health and/or family support. Please contact counselors via email according to the campus your child attends.
