Last week was National School Counseling Week to focus on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. School counselors lead, advocate and collaborate on efforts that promote equity for all students and create a culture of success for all. Schools, especially through the pandemic, have focused a significant amount of attention on the social/emotional well-being of students and how it impacts their overall academic success. Great River Connections Academy Manager of Counseling Services Alana Pustay shares with us more about her role as a school counselor, the social/emotional needs of students and how those needs are met in a virtual classroom environment.
