TERRE HAUTE, IN—The Vigo County School Corporation, through funding from Project AWARE, is supporting students through virtual counseling opportunities this summer.

Counselors have already begun setting appointments with at-risk students, and any student in grades K-8 can sign up for voluntary counseling check-ins for concerns such as anxiety, depression, irritability, family issues, self-isolation, and suspected substance abuse. A signup form is available at tinyurl.com/VigoCounselor. Sessions can take place via the phone or videoconferencing.

“COVID-19 has shined a light on the important work our school counselors do every day to care for the mental and emotional health of our students,” said Dr. Megan Kirk, Project AWARE Coordinator. “We knew that this summer would be critical for the wellbeing of our students, and we’re thankful that we have the grant funding to support our students through this difficult summer.”
