Remote Counseling Environment

Funded Oct 13, 2020

Words cannot express my sincere gratitude towards each and every one of you who contributed to this project. When schools were abruptly shut down in March of 2020, teachers were expected to create a remote work space environment to serve their students. As a School Counselor, I meet with students for live meets through web based platforms such as Google Classroom. Being able to connect with students is essential to the counseling relationship. The laptop you help provide, does just that. I am able to see my students clearly through the working camera and more importantly, they are able to see me. This laptop helps facilitate the counseling relationship during a time when we must remain physically distant.

Every other item provided established my counseling environment. My students are now in a remote counseling environment that they have come to expect as if we were in my office in the school building.

As a school counselor, I not only provide remote counseling services but help families in numerous ways. In NYC, students apply to the middle school of their choice. Having my remote counseling environment established and with the use of the technology provided, I have been able to successfully navigate this process with over 100 families.

Thank you for the kindness and generosity you have shown. May you and your families remain safe during this time.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Young
