No One Knows What You Do- And That's Dangerous

You’re doing meaningful work.You’re supporting students.You’re handling things no one else on campus is equipped to handle.But somehow, when big decisions get made, it’s like none of that exists.This episode looks at why that happens... and why it keeps happening.The school counseling profession has made its impact almost impossible to see.So in this episode, we’re talking about the visibility problem in school counseling…how confidentiality plays a role in it…and why showing up with passion and position statements isn't enough to protect your position when it matters.Because when the work can’t be seen, it can’t be defended.********Join our new Skool for School Counselors community ********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?
