This week (Feb. 6-10, 2023) is National School Counseling Week! This designation was created by the American School Counselor Association to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
