Students need a lot of support especially during the time of adolescence. As you point out most NYC schools provide minimal opportunities for any type of supportive counseling or therapy. In my experience being able to speak with someone who will listen and try to understand your viewpoint is paramount to overcoming obstacles. Too often counselors and therapists within a school system are unable to provide this necessary service and students often shy away from using what services are available out of fear that their parents, teachers, or school administrators will find out what has been discussed.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686011298334418675noreply@blogger.com
