Student Support Counselors

First Step is the name given to the at-risk counseling program in the Mansfield Independent School District. The First Step program provides six Student Support Counselors who work under the direction of the Director of Guidance & Counseling.

Student support counselors are credentialed professionals who provide short-term therapeutic counseling and crisis intervention for students in need. These counselors are housed at our high schools but also deliver services at nearby K-8 campuses.

You can also visit the Student Support 24/7 page to view support resources for students around the clock.
