We are proud to celebrate the invaluable role of school counselors around the world. International School Counselor Week (ISCW) is a global celebration of the invaluable contributions school counselors make to student success and well-being. It aims to spotlight the role of counselors in shaping positive school environments and supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally.
ISCW also serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of school counseling within the global education community.
Each year, ISCW is centered around a theme that reflects the evolving priorities of school counselors. This year’s theme, “Unity in Diversity: Harmonizing SEL Standards, Mental Health, and Inclusive Practices,” focuses on creating environments where students, staff, and communities feel respected, supported, and valued.
Through our conferences, webinars, and resources, we aim to inspire school counselors to embrace diversity, promote mental well-being, and strengthen inclusive practices. Join us in fostering growth, enhancing school counseling programs, and improving student well-being.
