School Counselors Cannot REPLACE an Outside Therapist
School Nurses don't fix a broken bone or do surgery but can give a band-aid or ice pack. School Counselors are the same.
School Counseling certification is not the same as a mental health license.
School Counselors offer short term solution focused individual meetings in order to assist with school related issues.
School Counselors see lots of students and we provide support but we can't provide it long term.
Primary doctors and specialists provide long term care.
We're like a band-aid. We triage for the here and now like the ER.
