Welcome to Cibola High School's Counseling Department

Spring 2020:

As ordered by the New Mexico Public Education Department on March 27th, all APS schools have shifted from classroom learning to remote/online learning from home for the remainder of this school year in response to COVID-19.

For more information about the APS response to this statewide order, please see the APS website at www.APS.edu. 

If you need immediate assistance, please contact the APS District Office at 505-880-3700.

SUPPORT WHILE AWAY FROM SCHOOL

Please know that your Cibola High School counselors care about you - we are here to support our students and families. We continue to work from home, checking our work email regularly, and will reply to your email as soon as possible. 

CHS Counselors' email addresses are listed on the right side of this web page. You may also access your counselor's web page and information/resources by clicking on his/her name shown in blue (on the right side of this page).

News about COVID-19 (Coronavirus) may create anxiety and concerns. If you or a loved one is experiencing any kind of emotional crisis, mental health or substance use concern, counselors are here to hear you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Call the NM Crisis & Access Line at 1-855-662-7474 (24/7); call or text their Peer-to-Peer Warmline at 1-855-466-7100 (call 3:30pm-11:30pm; text 6pm-11pm); and visit the NM Crisis and Access Line . 

The New Mexico Public Education Department sent out a memo 3/19/2020 entitled, "General Behavioral Health Resources for COVID-19," providing resources to help yourself, your family, and your loved ones. Remember, even when things feel overwhelming, there is hope and there is help. Click on the highlighted link above to view.
