What is STARS?
Taken from
the STARS-Nashville Website
STARS
helps schools tackle tough issues that threaten the
emotional, psychological and academic well-being of
area students--issues such as substance abuse,
violence, bullying, harassment, family conflicts and
divorce, loss, grief, and a myriad of other concerns.
Through assemblies, classroom presentations, and
group or individual counseling sessions, STARS
assists schools in preventing and confronting these
difficult challenges.
Today
STARS serves more than 75 schools and community
sites in 10 Middle Tennessee Counties. We are
the only agency whose counselors’ offices are in the
schools. This ensures that students and teachers can
access services when they need it and facilitates
communication. It also means that each STARS
Specialist is an integral part of his or her school
culture. In addition to school-based programs and
services in Middle Tennessee, STARS is an important
national resource for training and professional
consults. In 2005, more than 50,000 young people
were served through STARS services!

What STARS group are there, and
when do they meet?
The STARS groups will not
begin until January, but students are being seen by the STARS
counselor on an individual basis. Students needs are
being evaluated so that needed groups can be formed.
