Anna Gisetti and Vicki Helfer discuss the importance of school counseling and the challenges faced by school counselors. They highlight the significance of National School Counseling Week, which focuses on the profession rather than individual counselors. Vicki Helfer, the 2023 High School Counselor of the Year, shares her journey into school counseling, driven by her own mental health struggles and the desire to support others. She emphasizes the importance of data-driven advocacy, particularly for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and discusses her efforts to increase the number of school counselors in her building. Helfer also touches on the need for self-care to prevent burnout and the importance of staying informed and providing safe spaces for students amidst changing political climates.
