"Changed Impressions"

I have a new understanding of some of the duty's that counselor's do. I did not realize they were really teaching them coping skills with their family issue's. I new they listened and tried to give advice but, teaching those skills they can carry through out life. I also did not know they were the one to set up the hospital home bound services. It makes sense because they are the ones their to support the student academically and emotional. I was certainly surprised at just how much the counselors do. I do not think they get the credit they are due, wow could you even imagine the stress that would be. I now have a new respect for their job.

I really agree with you on your comment. After reading the history of where guidance started to where it is today with the five page high school model, counseling services have really taken on many different duties. With that being said, the main goal has always stayed the same----to HELP people :) These jobs can be stressful, I agree.... especially when they identify at risk students, provide crisis counseling, or manage cutural conflicts.

I never knew all of the duties a counselor could have. I too have a new found respect for our guidance department.
