Behind every student in crisis, every teacher on the verge of burnout, and every administrator stretched thin—there’s usually a counselor trying to hold it all together.
In this session, we’re diving deep into the real role school counselors play in keeping students, staff, and even entire campuses emotionally afloat. If your district is feeling the strain—rising absenteeism, staff fatigue, student disengagement—this is a conversation you need to hear.
In this on-demand session, we go inside the counselor’s world — the pressures, the purpose, and the policies that either help them thrive or leave them stretched thin.
Learn how counselors are building bridges between students, families, and staff — and why they’re often the first line of emotional support.
Get honest insight into what counselors need from school leadership — including trust, collaboration, and a seat at the decision-making table.
Understand how unsupported counselors lead to overwhelmed teachers, disengaged students, and leadership breakdowns.
