We added tools to our counseling toolbox by attending the Annual Critical Issues Conference hosted at Montevallo!
Schools are dealing with increasingly complex matters pertaining to students’ mental health and social/emotional well-being. Through the delivery of a comprehensive school counseling program, with equitable access for all students, school counselors can be influential in promoting student success and positive mental health outcomes. Given school counselors’ instrumental role in mental health crisis prevention and intervention, it is essential they possess the knowledge and tools necessary to identify and respond to the many issues students are facing in these unchartered, modern times. It is also essential they understand the legal implications and ethical considerations within the specific context of school counseling.
