Behavioral health

On-campus counselors trained in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care, with referrals when more support is needed.

  • Individual & group sessions
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Outside provider referrals

College & career

College visits, scholarship advising, FAFSA help, and career pathways aligned with tribal and federal opportunities.

  • College applications
  • Scholarship search
  • Career & trades pathways

Safety & advocacy

Counselors are confidential advocates for students navigating tough situations — at school, in the dorm, or at home.

  • Confidential meetings
  • Mandated-reporter protocols
  • Family coordination
Reach out

Three ways to connect.

1

Walk in

Counselor offices have posted walk-in hours each school day. No appointment needed for a check-in.

2

Request a session

Students can drop a request at the office or ask a teacher, dorm advisor, or trusted adult to set one up.

3

Family coordination

Parents and guardians can call the school any time to coordinate with their student's counselor.

In a crisis?

If a student is in immediate danger, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. During school hours, call FIS and ask for the on-duty counselor.
