208. School Counseling Office Tour

Are you ready for the new school year?? In today's episode I dive into starting the year with a "Meet the Counselor" lesson and setting up an effective school counseling office. I'll be sharing tips and resources to help you as the school counselor feel motivated and organized for the upcoming school year.

 

Some Highlights:

• Free live training on August 13-14 to show how to use a "Meet the Counselor" lesson to engage students and advocate for the counselor's role.

• Creating a calming "calm down corner" in the counseling office with cozy seating, fidgets, and guided meditation scripts.

• The importance of using bulletin boards, both inside and outside the office, to display counseling work and create a visual representation of the counselor's role.

• Setting up an organized and functional school counseling office, including a file cabinet, whiteboard, small group space, and signage on the office door.
