Counseling Services

At Boston Renaissance Charter Public School, we recognize that students cannot meet their full academic potential when emotional, social and behavioral challenges interfere with learning. Students who require support in these areas have access to the Mental Health Team. The Mental Team is made up of two school psychologists and a part time social worker. These counselors have experience and training in an academic setting.

The primary role of our Counselors is to ensure that students have the resources they need to be fully available for learning. By collaborating with teachers, administrators and parents, our team can identify challenges which impede the learning process and help students, parents and staff to develop and implement appropriate interventions.

Because family support is integral to students’ academic success, our team also provide parents with a variety of resources and referrals related to child development. Families who have concerns about their child’s social or emotional well being are encouraged to contact the Mental Health Team for guidance.

Individual and group counseling services are available for students as well as family referrals for on-site or off-site counseling. In the 2009 school year, Boston Renaissance formalized a partnership with The Home for Little Wanderers to increase the capacity of counseling services available to students and families.
