My New Impression of Guidance Counselors

After reading the information provided to us in the learning module I have learned a few things. First of all I had no idea that formal guidance counseling has been around for a century or more. Secondly there are many educational requirements with a guidance counseling profession. Furthermore, I had no idea they were so involved in so many students lives and at so many levels, including helping to develop an adolescents self awareness. To me that's pretty deep! I was always aware of their involvement in the students academics and support with learning skills as well as career planning. But, who would have thought they would deal with family crisis intervention. Reading this information was a real eye opener.
