The Latin School of Chicago provides its students with a rigorous and innovative educational program in a community that embraces diversity of people, cultures and ideas. Latin inspires its students to pursue their passions and lead lives of purpose and excellence.
The Counseling Program at Latin provides a range of prevention and intervention services to support students’ emotional, social and educational development so they may lead satisfying and productive lives at Latin and beyond. The emotional and social well-being and safety of our students are the foremost concerns of the counseling program.
Counselors provide support and expertise to students who may experience psychological stress, social difficulties, an acute crisis, or are participating in high-risk behaviors. They consult with administrators, teachers and families and serve as a liaison with medical/mental health professionals.
Counselors offer an open and accepting environment, treating each student with dignity and respect, and serving students in a culturally competent manner. Any student or family member may request or be referred to one of the counselors, who will collaboratively develop the best plan to address that student’s needs.
