I wanted to share about National School Counseling Week (NSCW) and invite you to join me in celebrating. NSCW 2022 is being celebrated this week (Feb, 7-11, 2022). The theme is “School Counseling: Better Together.” During this week the intent is to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within school systems and how students, schools, and communities are different as a result of what school counselors do.
I am grateful for each of you! Thank you for your continued support of the Wood Gormley Counseling Program and for acknowledging the value of social emotional learning in the development of each child. We are all in this together and through individual and collective support, we can continue to grow positive transformations for our children, ourselves, and our community. We truly are BETTER TOGETHER!
Check out how School Counseling is Better Together at Wood Gormley.
