Hello, my name is Christina Hart and I am the Intervention Specialist for Arapahoe Ridge High School.  I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.  I will be working closely with the Counselor and Administrators providing school-based prevention and intervention services.  The conversations that I have with students are confidential.  This means that I will not share what I discuss with a student unless she/he provides me with written permission.  There are some limitations to confidentiality that I will discuss with students prior to meeting with them.  The primary issues that I address with students include, but are not limited to:
