At the Collaborative, we believe in the power of sharing our successes and experiences to inspire and equip fellow school counselors and communities. By highlighting the best aspects of your counseling program and its impactful outcomes, you have the opportunity to ignite change, promoting social and emotional well-being, diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging.

Together, we can create school environments where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Submit your workshop proposal here until June 12, 2023
