Athlos counselors:
If your student needs help with a personal or academic issue, we are here for them. Our job is to listen to student and parent concerns and do our best to help in whatever way we can. Our goal is to ensure that each and every student reaches their fullest potential in school and life.
One of the things we are excited about doing for the 2019–2020 school year is facilitating small groups for students who need help with things like building better friendships, handling anger, learning better social skills, and managing stress and anxiety. Watch for these groups and let us know if you think your child would benefit from one. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for your student.

Coming soon.
Jessica Winward graduated from the University of Utah with a master’s degree in social work. Prior to working at Athlos, she worked with families, young children, and adolescents who experienced significant trauma and who demonstrated mental health/emotional/social/behavioral issues.
Jessica feels that her best quality as an educator is empathy, the ability to understand and validate another person’s feelings and thoughts.
Favorite Performance Character Trait: Curiosity
“I believe this trait not only facilitates academic learning, but fosters the development of self-awareness, empathy, and change,” Winward said. “We must be curious in order to better understand ourselves, others, and our world. Curiosity helps us to evolve.”
