Bali Island School Counseling Services
Social Emotional Counseling
Designed to promote students’ well-being, emotional health, and sense of belonging, Social Emotional Counseling supports children and young people in developing the confidence,
resilience, and life skills they need to flourish both academically and personally.
Using a strengths-based and student-centered approach, counseling draws on evidence-based practices from Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Dialectical Behavior
Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Counseling, Positive Education, and mindfulness. Sessions provide a safe and supportive space where students can explore challenges, develop
emotional regulation, build resilience, strengthen healthy relationships, and foster positive character strengths.
Counseling sessions are confidential, ensuring a safe space for students to share their concerns openly. However, if a safety concern arises, the counselor is required to take appropriate action to ensure the student’s wellbeing.
Brief counseling interventions are provided within the school setting. Where additional or specialist support is needed, appropriate referrals may be recommended to ensure students receive the care that best meets their needs. Parent wellbeing workshops may also be offered throughout the year to support students’ social and emotional development.
