By addressing the school/counselor relationship, this session will carefully examine the role of schools in adolescent development, particularly in relation to addressing trauma, healthy attachment, self-regulation, and developing healthy relationships. The discussions will review pertinent theory and research, as well as ethical boundaries and pitfalls. Case studies will give the participants the opportunity to apply the course material to their practice.
