Student Assistance Coordinators (SAC) / Crisis Counselors

The Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC)/Crisis Counselor Team at PCTVS is part of the School Counseling Department, and the primary focus is the "well-being" of the child. The SAC/Crisis Counselors offer prevention, education, intervention, referral services, and support to all students as well as their families. The SAC/Crisis Counselors interact with students in both individual and group settings.

If your child or you should be experiencing mental health distress or if you believe harm is imminent, please call 911 or your doctor immediately.
Please feel free to contact your child's School Counselor or a SAC/Crisis Counselor with any non-emergency concerns you may have.
