The Name It First Experience

School counselors are the first responders of educational crisis. They carry grief, abuse, mental health emergencies, college pressure, family dissolution, and trauma on behalf of students — and they do it largely alone, in institutions that chronically understaff and underresource the role. This workbook gives school counselors a structured process for assessing what they are carrying, building a sustainable practice, and documenting the terms under which they can continue to do this work well. The work produces a single document: The School Counselor's Agreement.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What drew you to school counseling — and what has the work actually done to you, professionally and personally?
  2. What do you carry from your students and their families that doesn't leave when you go home?
  3. What does sustainability look like for you in this work — and what do you need to protect to keep doing it well?

Research basis
