Canup Early Childhood Center
The ultimate goal of comprehensive school counseling programs is student success. The program design, delivery system, and content are dedicated to enhancing the ability of all students to fully utilize the educational opportunities available to them. The program is delivered through the school counseling curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services, and system support.
Comprehensive school counseling programs, integral to the school’s educational environment, partner with other academic and behavioral initiatives to effect positive changes in student achievement and behavior. Targeted outcomes of fully implemented programs include increased student achievement, an improved graduation rate, better attendance, reduced disciplinary referrals, completed individual learning plans, and increased student participation in the community.
The school counselor serves as a school leader, student advocate, and team collaborator who works to remove systemic barriers to student success. School counselors plan the comprehensive school counseling program, and facilitate its delivery. Working together with school administrators, other professional educators, and community members, their collaborative approach produces measurable results that are shared and used to inform program improvement.
Each counselor maintains counseling pages on their respective campus websites with helpful information for parents and students.
Comprehensive School Counseling Program
A comprehensive school counseling program is developmental and systematic in nature, sequential, clearly defined, and accountable. It is jointly founded upon developmental psychology, educational philosophy, and school counseling methodology (ASCA, 2012). Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs are vital to the achievement of excellence in education for all students. Texas Education Code 33.005 (2019) states that school counselors must "plan, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive school counseling program that conforms to the most recent edition of the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs" (TCA, 2018). Such a program organizes resources to meet the priority needs of students through four delivery system components. The identified needs of all students in prekindergarten through grade 12 provide the basis for the developmental school counseling program, delivered through Guidance Curriculum and Individual Planning System components. The identified special needs of some students provide the basis for the Responsive Services component. The identified needs of the school system itself are met through the System Support component.

How Families Can Support Student Health and Emotional Well-being
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published ways families can support student health and emotional well-being. The article explains how parents and families contribute to their children's lives, often being the first to help their children develop skills to recognize and manage emotions, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Fentanyl Documentary - Dead on Arrival
Essential information for parents and families to learn more about the fentanyl crisis. Deceptive drugs made of fentanyl are killing young people across the country at an alarming rate. Fentanyl is infiltrating communities through counterfeit pills, cocaine and any other street drug you can name. Anonymously sold through social media and delivered within minutes. Take some time about the destruction that this is causing.
Helping Teens Build Healthy Social Media Habits
How teenagers manage and use social media is a complicated topic. Sure, social media can be a valuable tool and resource through which teenagers express themselves, develop their identities and connect with others. But it can also be the source of depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation and other mental health challenges.

Parenting to prevent health Adverse Childhood Experiences
Understand Adverse Childhood Experiences for Families
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are serious childhood traumas that can result in toxic stress. Prolonged exposure to ACEs can create toxic stress, which can damage the developing brain and body of children and affect overall health. Toxic stress may prevent a child from learning or playing in a healthy way with other children, and can cause long-term health problems.

How to detect and protect against bullying
Presentation from Connections Wellness Group in conjunction with PISD elementary counselors. This helpful presentation will give families an understanding of what bullying is and how to detect it. Also, it will assist in giving tools on how to engage in meaningful conversations with children on how to respond to being bullied, seeing someone bullied or having urges to bully.

Age Related Reactions to Traumatic Events
A fundamental goal of parenting is to help children grow and thrive to the best of their potential. Parents anticipate protecting their children from danger whenever possible, but sometimes serious danger threatens, whether it is manmade, such as a school shooting or domestic violence, or natural, such as a flood or earthquake. And when a danger is life-threatening or poses a threat of serious injury, it becomes a potentially traumatic event for children.
By understanding how children experience traumatic events and how these children express their lingering distress over the experience, parents, physicians, communities, and schools can respond to their children and help them through this challenging time. The goal is to restore balance to these children's lives and the lives of their families.

A Surgeon General's Advisory is a public statement that calls the American people's attention to an urgent public health issue and provides recommendations for how it should be addressed. Advisories are reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation's immediate aware and action.
This Advisory calls attention to the importance of parental stress, mental health and well-being, stressors unique to parenting, and the bidirectional relationship between parental mental health and child outcomes. It offers actionable recommendations for institutions that can reduce stress and support the mental health and well-being of parents and caregivers.
