Overview

School counselors are tasked with providing strategies for all students including those who may be experiencing various types of trauma symptomatology. While there is a high expectation of providing quality care, there is a question of how well school counselors are prepared to work with those traumatized students. This book describes the perceptions of school counselors of how well they were prepared by their graduate counseling programs to work with students with trauma and provide insight on how to work with those students. In order to better serve this young population of students, it is critical to understand the counselors' perception of their preparedness to work with them. In response to the literature of the prevalence and impact of youth trauma and the apparent scarcity of literature that addresses school counselor training with this population, this book offers strategies and interventions to assist school counselors in their school counseling programs. This comprehensive book prepares potential and current school counselors to handle the challenges and responsibilities they may face as professional school counselors, preschool through high school. It provides a wide range of topics in-depth, including effective interventions for racism, recognizing trauma, a school counselor's relationship with administrators, working with diverse students, a model for advocating on behalf of, and providing services to children with disabilities.
