Professional School Counselor
I help students in the areas of academic achievement, personal / social development, and career development.
The beauty, and the curse, of school counseling is that no two days are alike. And, no matter how well planned your day is, you never know what else will hit to throw everything off. One thing is certain, I will interact with people all day. I may help students with academic issues, or personal problems, or even more serious mental health issues. I help staff and administrators create a healthy school climate. I help parents understand what is happening at school.
Here's the first step for high school students
School counselors have to be jacks of all trades, so in addition to education, find volunteer opportunities that will enhance skills or help you focus on a specialty. Volunteer at a local hospital, or crisis center, or take the training to work on help hotlines. Crisis training with the Red Cross is also good.
