Fine Lines and Touchy Conversations: Differentiating School Counseling and Behavior Intervention

School for School Counselors Podcast

Ever felt overwhelmed and feel like more of a behavior interventionist than a true school counselor? Are you unsure about your role in this critical area on campus?
In this episode, we dive into the vital distinction between school counseling and behavior intervention. We talk about how as counselors, our main focus should be on prevention, guidance, and support while underlining our need to collaborate effectively with behavior intervention personnel and school psychologists.
We also tackle the notion of establishing respect and acknowledgment for your expertise as a school counselor, as well as the much-needed time and apace to help foster a positive school environment.
We round it all out with some suggestions and talking points for these critical advocacy conversations.
This episode is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with defining your role in your campus's behavior intervention program.
