73: Tales From A Train Station: Back To School Series For School Counselors

In this second episode of our Back to School series, I’m diving into a topic that’s incredibly important for us as school counselors—how to make sure the vital work we do doesn’t go unnoticed. Too often, despite the significant impact we have, our efforts can go unseen by those around us. In this episode, I emphasize the importance of:Advocating for Our Role: Ensuring that the value of our work is communicated so it doesn’t get overlooked.Sharing Successes: Highlighting the progress of our students with colleagues and administrators to build awareness and appreciation for the counseling role.Collaboration is Key: Being seen as integral members of the school team by actively participating in and contributing to the broader educational environment.Impactful Interventions: Recognizing the power of empathy and understanding in counseling.Building a Supportive Environment: Advocating for ourselves to help create a school culture where our contributions are respected and supported.Join me as we explore how to ensure our work is visible, valued, and celebrated as we head into what I hope will be our best school year yet!Mentioned in this episode:Perks Membership
