CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 142

Every school should have a school counselor and there are so many reasons why a school counselor may work with any student at any stage of their educational career. But what do they do? From individual 1-1 support to whole class workshops, a school counselor is there to see students thrive and support them with strategies so they can love and enjoy learning. They give the tools the student needs for the challenge in front of them at that moment. Today I speak to school counselor, Rachel Davis. The topics we cover in this episode are:

Feelings and emotional regulation
How a counselor works out which student to support for the year
Keeping the lines of communication open between the counselor and parents
Organizational tips for counselors
