Ever wondered what goes on behind the closed door of a counselor’s office? This session will lift the veil on the magic (and hard work) that school counselors do every day to support students, staff, and the school as a whole. From being the ultimate problem solvers to the emotional first responders, school counselors wear many hats, and we're here to spill the secrets!

Join us for a fun and insightful workshop where we’ll explore the role of the counselor, bust some myths, and discuss how they can be the glue that holds the school community together. Spoiler: it's not just about helping students pick the right college – they’re the unsung superheroes working behind the scenes to create a thriving, supportive environment for everyone!
