St. Raphael What we do web

CATHOLIC SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM

St. Raphael Counseling's school program is, quite simply, revolutionary and life changing. Nineteen Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Denver receive behavioral health services from this Catholic Charities ministry. Launched in 2011, this program serves students in individual and group counseling sessions, exploring emotions, overcoming challenges and developing essential life skills. In the last year alone, 10,000 counseling hours were committed to the wellbeing of students.

"I imagine St. Raphael Counseling as having two arms - our outpatient clinics and our school counseling team," shared executive director, Dr. Michelle Connor Harris. "Together, these two arms wrap around the Archdiocese of Denver, providing comprehensive mental health services, consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church, to families, priests, parishes and schools."

The school counseling program has emphasized the role of collaboration between parents, teachers, administrators and counselors, fostering a network that enhances students' overall well-being. By advocating for the importance of mental health, St. Raphael Counseling has helped break down the stigma often associated with seeking help in a school setting.

"Counseling, now more than ever, is so important for our children's formation. With everything the world is throwing at our kids in terms of social media, body image and countless other subjects, it is essential to have a trained professional in our building that is equipped with the tools necessary for our students' proper development, but also the faith that provides the foundation for having these important discussions," shared Erich Hoffer, principal of Bishop Machebeuf High School. "The staff that we have worked with from St. Raphael have been a brilliant mix of counseling expertise and devotion to our core values. They prepare our children to faithfully face an ever-changing world, while not relying on that world to shape who they are."

The growth of school counseling in Catholic schools through St. Raphael Counseling demonstrates a commitment to the holistic development and well-being of students, ensuring they have the necessary support to thrive in all aspects of life.

Internships

St. Raphael Internships web

St. Raphael Counseling's Masters Internship Program seeks to build on the skills developed during a masters student's education and training to form competent entry-level mental health clinicians who can function in a variety of settings. We prepare future mental health clinicians to navigate issues of diversity and multiculturalism through various learning opportunities and, most importantly, through direct clinical experience with a wide variety of clients.
