School Counseling FAQs

If you're wondering about what exactly a school counselor does, you've come to the right place! You're also not the only one who might be asking yourself this question: the profession of school counseling has been around for about a century and has changed a lot over that time. 
 
From the American School Counselor Association: "School counselors have unique qualifications and skills to implement a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses pre-K–12 students’ academic, career and social/ emotional development needs. School counselors are leaders, advocates, collaborators and consultants who create systemic change to ensure equitable educational outcomes through the school counseling program. School counselors demonstrate the belief that all students have the ability to learn by advocating for and contributing to an education system that provides optimal learning environments for all students."
