Meg from Catholic Charities of Denver St. Raphael Counseling gave a presentation at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School to help parents understand the important difference between school counseling and clinical therapy. She explained that school counseling focuses on supporting students’ social, emotional and academic growth within the school setting, while therapy provides more in-depth mental health treatment in a clinical environment. This conversation helped clarify the unique role of school counselors and how they collaborate with parents and outside providers to best support each student’s well-being.
