Camelback counselors at all levels help students to understand and deal with social, behavioral, and personal problems. Counselors provide special services, including alcohol and drug prevention programs and conflict resolution classes. They also try to identifycases of domestic abuse and other family problems that can affect a student's development.

Counselors interact with students individually, in small groups, or as an entire class. They consult and collaborate with parents, teachers, school administrators, school psychologists, medical professionals, and social workers to develop and implement strategies to help students succeed.
