Grief does not wait for a convenient time. It arrives without warning and sits down next to a student in third period. At CityPrep, we understand that school counselors are the bridge between a student’s emotional reality and their academic performance.
Adolescent grief is often intermittent and peer-focused. For more on supporting students through emotional challenges, see our guide on empathy exercises. You can also find clinical resources on the Dougy Center website.
Students need flexibility without abandonment. This includes academic adjustments and a safe space to feel. For more on navigating school systems, check out our post on the 504 process. Handling these hard conversations with families is a critical skill.
