Overview of LaunchED Counseling:
LaunchED and St. Vrain Valley Schools prioritize student well-being and support. Counseling services are provided to assist students with their educational, vocational, and personal-social adjustments and progress. Specific areas addressed are crisis intervention, counseling (helping students consider alternatives, make decisions and solve problems), and guidance activities such as test interpretation, scheduling, orientation, and college and career information. This service is an integral part of the total school program.
