Lesson Plan

Counselor Quest Plan

Introduce 3rd graders to their school counselor’s role and practice three concrete strategies to ask for help, empowering students to seek support when they need it.

Early connection with a trusted adult promotes emotional safety, reduces stigma around asking for help, and equips students with practical tools to advocate for themselves.
