Providing individual and group counseling for secondary school
students was once a major priority for secondary school counselors.
However, many guidance programs have abandoned this role, and
counselors have become quasi-administrators who spend most of their
time scheduling students for classes, managing mandated testing
programs, resolving discipline issues, and advising students on
college admissions. Counseling students on personal and well-being
issues takes up a very small part of the time. In many school
districts, social workers, student assistance counselors, and
school psychologists have taken over the counseling duties.
Critical issues are now causing school leaders to consider
reorganizing school guidance staff so there is a cadre of
counselors trained and charged with the mission of providing
individual and group counseling for troubled teens. First, the
number of troubled teens arriving at the schoolhouse door looking
for help has exploded. Second, budget cuts have eliminated or
drastically curtailed many of the services of social workers,
student assistance counselors, and psychologists. The result? Many
once open doors for help are now closed, and schools' counseling
services are failing many students, parents, and educators in need
of intervention. This book provides a new model in which
well-trained counselors can once again regain their historic role
in counseling troubled teens, parents, and training staff and
students on the front lines to act -- not look the other way --
when they observe a student heading towards the margins of school
life.
