More Counselors Needed to Help Students Navigate College, Trauma
Bardwell, Bob
New England Journal of Higher Education, Feb 2020
The school counseling profession has gone through tremendous growth and change since the early 1900s. New England can be proud of school counselors who are working differently from those in the past to support all students achieving their fullest potential. The school counselor of today wears many hats but most importantly serves all students, not just the ones who have the skills, maturity and drive to seek help. School counselors are transforming the way students succeed. Whether it is advising individuals, small groups or an entire classroom, today's school counselor delivers a proactive program focusing not only on career and postsecondary goals, but also on improving academic performance, dropout prevention and responsive services dealing with issues such as depression, suicide and loss. This article presents the need for more school counselors in the higher education setting.
