Grace students now have access to a trained counselor during school hours at Grace to help them with personal, family, or school issues. The free counseling is provided by the In-School Youth Counseling program from Lutheran Counseling and Family Services of WI. Students will usually meet with a counselor for a 30 minute block of time weekly (tentatively set for Tuesday mornings). The counselor will determine the frequency and number of future meetings.
What Occurs during a counseling session? The therapist will be talking to your child about such things as self-esteem and self-confidence, school concerns, behavior concerns, and be present to listen to whatever is troubling the student. The counselor will be teaching problem-solving skills, anger management, stress management, assertiveness training and communication skills as needed.
Cost This counseling is provided at no cost to the family. This is made possible because of grants to LCFS.

Referral Process
- A Grace teacher may refer a student who would benefit from counseling by sending a parent consent form home. No student will be seen by a counselor without parent permission. The referral form asks for some background information to be completed by the parent and returned to the school office in a SEALED ENVELOPE.
- Parents may initiate a counseling session request for their child by requesting a referral form from the child’s teacher or the school office.
