Does her school have a counselor? My son (6) has a school counselor with a therapy dog, the kids can come in and talk to him about the 'junk' in their lives, pet the dog, feel a little better....not sure if the whole "school counselor" thing has caught on in Canada at the younger grades or not, it is unfortunately becoming very popular in these parts b/c so many kids have 'junk' to deal with......
