School Mental Health: Leverage Your Counseling Staff for Better Student Outcomes

  • 07 Oct 2025
  • 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
  • 33 Forge Parkway, Franklin

This workshops is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts School Administrators Association (MSAA).  

Student mental health should be a priority for every school leader. School counselors are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the lives of all students, but are they given the tools and time to do so? Find out how school counselors use data and evidence-based best practices to close achievement and opportunity gaps and deliver comprehensive programs that ensure success for all students. Learn ways school counselors help to improve student mental health, school climate and reduce or eliminate bullying and discipline incidents. How do school counselors deal with crises and what is their role in preventing and responding to incidents such as school shootings, deaths in the community, or natural disasters? 

This session will explore these various roles, and how school counselors can ensure the best response and preparation for such events. Participants will leave the session with specific ideas and activities as well as a concrete action plan to support and advantage all students.
