Mission Statement
Recognizing that a student's emotional and mental health status may impact their ability to be successful in school, Madeira City Schools' Counseling Department provides comprehensive, age appropriate services to foster academic success, college and career readiness, and social-emotional development.
In partnership with other educators, parents or guardians, and the community, school counselors facilitate skill development to equip our students with the tools to live healthy and productive lives. This includes making students aware of opportunities that are available to them, both through educational and career & technical pathways. All students’ individual needs are considered in planning and implementing the school counseling program.
All students K-12 have access to a full-time, state certified, master’s degree level school counselor. The school counselors will abide by the professional school counseling ethics as advocated by the American School Counseling Association.
School Counseling Services
Each school provides school counseling services to help students with academic concerns, emotional issues, crisis intervention, conflict resolution, healthy decision-making, bullying and harassment prevention, and substance abuse prevention. If you have concerns about your child's academic or social-emotional well-being, please do not hesitate to contact your child's school counselor. If your student needs immediate assistance outside of school hours, please contact 988 Lifeline.
Madeira City Schools & Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Partnership
The Madeira City School District is partnering with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) to provide Madeira families with children in Grades K-12 access to school based mental health services.
• CCHMC will provide independently licensed therapists to offer support for students during their school day.
• These optional and confidential services will be offered in addition to those provided by school counselors and psychologists.
• Families can cover the cost of therapy visits through private insurance, Medicaid or private pay options.
This partnership was facilitated by MindPeace, a non-profit organization with the mission to improve access to high quality mental health care for all children. If you are interested in this service for your child, please contact your child’s school counselor. For more information about this partnership contact Jessica Hunter, Director of Student Services, at 513.272.4140 or jhunter@madeiracityschools.org.
