Advocacy and Outreach: School Counselor Resources

The Advocacy and Outreach Committee is working to create this useful website with content for our members to share with their students and school counseling stakeholders. Stay tuned for more..... 

  One of our main roles as school counselors is to advocate for our students, families, and staff.....but what about us??? AND how do we educate stakeholders and advocate on the importance of our role on the impact that we have on student success?

   To promote advocacy, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) suggests to “speak up, reach out, and always use your data.”  For some of us, this may be difficult and uncomfortable, however, it is essential for our profession! Our hope is that this website will provide you with information to advocate for your counseling program, but also find valuable resources and ideas to use with your students.  The best way for us to get new ideas is to share with our colleagues.  If you have a valuable resource that you would like to share on this website, please contact rebeccaschool@ohioschoolcounselor.org.
