Couseling Module Post 1

Module Post 1

The environment I work in at the Alternative school with limited resources and a lot of students with various academic problems, stemming from being arrested or have not attended school for extended periods of time; I have the upmost respect for the counselors who work with us. Most of the students we receive, 30 to 40% have IEPs, BIPs or other challenging mental issues. These counselors are warriors and they encapsulate many duties within their profession and I believe outside their profession also. I really do not know until I gather further information on their duties, but I can only imagine the academics and training to prepare them for the rigors of their job, especially the counselors that are here with us at the alternative school.
