Counselling
At DIS, the support and wellbeing of all students is our highest priority and this is overseen by our primary and secondary school counselors. They offer a comprehensive range of services for all students that are delivered through both direct (e.g. such as one-to-one sessions or small group), and indirect student services (e.g. referrals to outside services).
The counselling services include:
- individual student and group counseling
- assisting in the teaching and implementation of the school-wide developmentally appropriate, wellbeing curriculum
- supporting the healthy transition of newly enrolled students and when moving to a new school
- supporting transitions between the school’s programmes (e.g. PYP to MYP)
- providing support and assistance to parents regarding student concerns
- supporting the school community through parent information sessions and communications through emails, News & Notes etc.
- referring students to outside services when needed
Referrals of students for school counseling services can be made by staff members, family members, outside agencies, school counselors, or students themselves.
Please do not hesitate to contact our school counsellors if you have any concerns or questions or if they can help in any way.
