NBMHS Counseling Center

Our School Counselors can help with a variety of topics including scheduling questions, academic performance, future planning, collegiate questions and testing, social and emotional concerns, and connecting you with resources. For students, the Counselor’s Office works best when scheduling an appointment via email. If you need help or have any questions, feel free to contact us.

The counseling office assists students with effective social/emotional and life skills development. The office also encourages partnerships between the school and local agencies, businesses, and community members to provide opportunities and services with our students. These can include job training, specific skill development, Native history, cultural experiences, and subsistence activities.

Parent/teacher/student conferences, individual student counseling, crisis counseling, and referral services are available to all students.
