Counseling Services

Counseling Program

The counseling program is an essential and valuable part of the Benway School experience. Each student is seen on an individual basis by licensed and certified clinicians at least once a week. In addition, various therapy groups are formed during the year according to student needs and interests. Crisis prevention work is ongoing and integrated into the therapeutic and academic setting. The therapists meet with parents throughout the year for supportive services. They also work with district schools and interface with hospital and outpatient programs in which the students may be involved.

Group Counseling

Students learn a deeper understanding about the concept of self-esteem. The group activities focus on the development of a positive sense of self. The students will acquire the skills and insight necessary to conduct themselves more appropriately in both academic and social settings.
