Westfield South Middle School Guidance Department

""Pathways to Success"

Adolescents are struggling with a wide variety of issues such as peer pressure, struggles for independence, divorce, friendship, loss, difficulties with the increasing demands of schoolwork, exploring their feelings and starting to think about their future career goals. Professionally certified counselors at South Middle School are here to support and advocate for all students. Counselors work with students in a confidential and trusting environment to improve their problem solving, decision making and goal setting skills. They are trained in both education and counseling, allowing them to function as a facilitator between parents, teachers and the students thus helping adolescents develop into well-rounded, well adjusted and responsible young adults.
