Guidance and Counseling Unit

The Guidance and Counseling Unit serves as your partner in achieving success in your career, personal and social development. You are warmly welcome to talk about any issue or concern affecting your life as a student and as an individual. During this very crucial and different situation of facing and fighting the pandemic, we would like to support you as you embark on your online academic journey in MILES. Concerns or issues discussed in individual sessions with the Counselors are treated with confidentiality and do not appear in the students’ academic records.

Here are the basic but most essential Guidance and Counseling Unit programs and online services we are offering this AY 2020-2021:

COUNSELING

It is a collaborative professional relationship with the aim of helping you identify goals and potential solutions to problems, as well as promote behavior change and optimal mental health. We may not be physically meeting in school, but we’ll be making it possible thru Tele & Web Counseling, where we’ll use video, telephone, or written communications to provide counseling services.

CONSULTATION

The Guidance and Counseling Unit serves as your advocates for any questions you may have. You may always reach out to us via our Canvas Virtual Office or by sending emails as well as visiting the official Facebook pages of our unit.

FOLLOW UP AND MONITORING

Here in the Guidance Office, we strongly believe that success is not just about the destination, but the journey, so what we deeply care about is your growth, progress, and development. In this regard, we’ll be doing formal and systematic monitoring of the students who have undergone our services.

INFORMATION & ENRICHMENT

As your ally and advocate, we will be providing you helpful materials about personal, social, and career development through valuable and insightful orientations, seminars, trainings, and workshops using different online platforms.
