Wendy's, Steve's, and Jules' services are available to St. Vincent de Paul families free of charge.  We welcome your calls whatever the reason.  Typical requests for our services fall under the following categories:

Counseling - We are able to meet with any student for any reason with parent permission.

Classroom Presentations and Groups - we provide classroom presentations on just about any topic and can offer groups focusing on grief issues, family change, social skills, and academic skills.

Testing - We will usually provide testing services directly such as assessments and diagnostic evaluations for developmental issues that affect school performance.  If there is a need for something outside our areas of expertise, we will help St. Odilia families find exactly what is needed.

Our school contracts with Phoenix School Counseling for counseling services. Dr. Steve Kahn is the founder of this group that now works in 25 Catholic schools throughout the greater Twin Cities area. Counselors are available to meet individually with students upon parent request and to provide classroom guidance sessions on any needed topic. Testing is available for attention, learning or emotional concerns. Dr. Kahn is available for individual meetings or phone calls with parents on any matter pertaining to children and parenting. He is the author of a well-regarded book on parenting, Insightful Parenting: Making Moments Count. There is never a charge for any service from Dr. Kahn or his counselors as they are included as part of your tuition.
