WATODEN Network Member Schools: $50.00 per person

Fees (Non-Members): $125.00

Overview:  The school counselor meets many different needs and fills many roles. They teach classroom guidance, facilitate small-groups, conduct individual counseling, and consult with teachers and parents, and participate in 504s, IEPs and many other committees. School counselors spend a considerable amount of time addressing problems. The expectations of stakeholders can overwhelm many school counselors, and they have little time left to commit to counseling students. School counselors are ready for an approach to working with students, their families, and school staff that takes less of a time commitment and is more effective at the same time. Solution Focused Counseling makes sense in the schools. Solution Focused Counseling provides an efficient alternative for professionals working in a time-conscious environment.

Learning Objectives
• Learn to use language and a “yes-set” vocabulary to enhance student success.
• Identify achievable student goals.
• Enable students to identify their own solutions and facilitate change.
• Immediately implement flexible solution-focused techniques.
• Maximize the effectiveness of single counseling sessions.
