Sandy Creek Central School District continues collaboration with Farnham Family Services

September 16th, 2019 by Briana Foisia, Public Relations

Abigail Kastick returns in her role as the student assistance counselor at Sandy Creek Middle School. This will mark the second year the district is offering prevention services by collaborating with Farnham Family Services.

With a focus on overall health, the Sandy Creek Central School District will continue to offer prevention services to its students this year.

Student assistance counselor Abigail Kastick, through Farnham Family Services, will be in the building from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays. She noted that she will employ an evidence-based curriculum to help students address a variety of topics and risk factors.

Prevention services include individual counseling, group counseling, classroom group education, presentations and more, Kastick said. She outlined her objectives in a letter to parents/guardians, which can be found at: https://www.sandycreekcsd.org/pub/962

Kastick said that students can be referred to prevention services by a staff member or as a self-referral seeking support.

Prevention services are here as an additional factor of support and guidance for students, she said. This helps them learn ways to build positive social skills, gain confidence in their ability to interact with others and learn ways to deal with problems and conflicts constructively. There is a referral form available on our website at: https://www.sandycreekcsd.org/pub/963
