I am Monica Fugedi, the Wellness and Crisis Counselor at Groves High School. I have spent 13 years as a School Counselor at Groves before moving into the full-time Wellness and Crisis position.

I am a fully licensed and nationally certified mental health counselor and have done a lot of work surrounding anxiety, self-esteem, and overall wellness. I am also a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional (CCATP).

In this day and age, adolescents are faced with pressures that many of us cannot even imagine having faced when we were in high school. With the age of social media, nothing is private, and everything seems permanent, making it difficult for anyone to make a mistake for fear that it will be “caught on tape.” This,  coupled with the increasingly competitive nature of college admission, many students everywhere are feeling the pressure.

My role as the Wellness and Crisis Counselor is to create initiatives that will serve the needs of our staff, students, and community.

If there are any topics that you would like more information on, please feel free to email me at mfugedi@birmingham.k12.mi.us.

With purpose,
