What Students Will Need Post COVID-19: The Work Ahead for School Counselors

While it may be hard to imagine at this point a world without COVID-19 restrictions, the day will come when we will try to resume our lives and routines before this all happened.  In addition to making up for lost academic programming, schools will have the challenging responsibility to deal with the emotional and psychological well-being of students in their care.  This responsibility falls largely on the school counselors in our nation's districts.  Join us for a discussion with Jill Cook, Assistant Director - American School Counslelor Association and two practitioners, Sarah Kirk and Dr. Emily Goodman-Scott, to hear their predictions for what will be needed in a post-COVID world.  Monday, April 6 - 2pm.

Jill Cook is assistant director of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), where she helped develop and continues to oversee the National School Counselor of the Year and Recognized ASCA Model Programs.
