Services & Programs Offered
Individual Counseling:
Counselors are available to meet one-on-one with NDA students. The Counselors are available for meeting during the school day and before or after school. Students can visit counselors on their own or they may be referred by faculty, staff, family members, or friends.
Group Counseling:
Groups are offered for students interested in sharing with other students who have had similar experiences to gain from their support and understanding. Support groups meet once a week for 5 weeks each semester. They are scheduled on a rotating basis so that no one misses a class more than once a semester.
