Counseling Connections With Students

Funded Aug 15, 2023

Thank you for your kind donation towards my counseling program. I used this money to create a coffee station in the counseling office for all students.

This coffee station has improved the connections that the counseling department has with the students here at school. As students stop in for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate I am able to have conversations with them and find out more about that student. The drinks are free of charge, students only have to share any new information about themselves to me or other counseling staff.

These coffee connections are vital to the success of our counseling program. Students interact with me or other staff with casual conversation, this helps to establish respect and rapport with the students. Since I have worked on building casual relationships with students, they then are more comfortable in sharing the more serious issues they encounter.

Thank you again for providing the funds to create this space. Students are taking advantage of it and we as counseling staff are building meaningful relationships with our students. We so appreciate this opportunity.”

With gratitude,
