Designed to highlight the rich knowledge and diverse perspectives that counselors around the world bring, each session will feature the following components:
Case Presentations: 2-3 counselors will present a challenge or case from their respective schools.
Special Topics: 1-2 sessions will be dedicated to a deep dive into culturally sensitive trauma-informed practices, aimed at equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills to effectively support the school community.
Insight & Idea Sharing: Counselors are encouraged to contribute by sharing an insight, idea or a resource.
Closing: The facilitators will summarize and conclude the session and provide resources based on the topics discussed and shared insights. Facilitators may also lead a brief mindfulness/grounding exercise to promote self-awareness and resilience.
