School Counseling Practicum and Internship Helen S Hamlet

Reflecting the expertise and lived experiences of experts in the field, School Counseling Practicum and Internship: 30+ Essential Lessons presents readers with a collection of practical lessons and techniques. The lessons highlight a variety of diverse situations school counselors are likely to face during their everyday. The book is designed to equip readers with the knowledge they need to confidently and competently handle these challenges.



The 38 lessons are divided into seven distinct parts that address foundations, diversity and advocacy, crisis prevention and intervention, interventions and skills, special education, postsecondary transitions, and transitioning from graduate school to a leadership role in school counseling. Individual lessons cover orienting to a practicum or intern site, working with gender-diverse and gender-nonconforming students, identifying and reporting child abuse and neglect, restorative practice and classroom management, mental health in schools, writing a 504 plan, school counselors as transformative leaders, and more. Highly interactive in nature, the book includes hands-on activities, templates, stories from the field, and links to videos.



The second edition features new lessons that address concussion management in schools, technology tools, family systems intervention for anxiety and school avoidance, neuroscience-informed school counseling, grief and loss, counseling in under-resourced communities, and motivational interviewing.



Featuring lessons and strategies that align with CACREP 2016 standards and MPCAC 2017 standards, School Counseling Practicum and Internship is an essential resource for school counselors in training and students entering a practicum or internship.
