Hello families!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. I am so excited to be back on campus with the students. If your child is in need of emotional support, there are a variety of ways to get help. The counseling program at Country Lane provides support through full-class programming and lessons, small-group counseling, and individual counseling. If you are interested in your child receiving counseling, please fill out the Parent Referral Form. 

Moreland School District fosters a culture that promotes the health, safety, and well-being of students and parents. In an effort to continuously support this commitment, the District has partnered with Care Solace. Care Solace is a FREE online resource with a live 24/7 concierge meant to assist individuals in finding local mental health-related programs and counseling services.

In addition, there are a variety of other community resources available to support our families. Please review the resources listed here, and feel free to reach out to Ms. Apple ([email protected]) if you have questions or need additional information or support.

Counseling Services Overview

Our comprehensive School Counseling program at Country Lane includes a variety of services for our TK-5 students. These services include:

Group Counseling: Small group counseling services are provided for students experiencing common concerns including anxiety, big feelings, difficulty with social skills, or other issues that impact their well-being in the classroom. We will meet in groups of 2-6 students, for 30 minutes per week for 8-12 weeks.

Individual Counseling: Individual counseling gives students one-on-one support for common mental health or behavioral concerns. Students often benefit from discussing challenges around self-esteem, social skills, big feelings, anxiety, academics, and other concerns. One-on-one counseling is typically provided for 30 minutes per week, for 4-6 weeks depending on need.

Check-in: Shorter individual sessions addressing common mental health, behavioral, or academic concerns. These sessions are 10-15 minutes long, once a week or every other week, and provide a quick touch point for students during the school day.

Classroom Lessons: This is where the Counselor will come into the classroom and facilitate a skills-based classroom lesson based on grade-level needs.
