National School Counseling Week 2022, “School Counseling: Better Together,” will be celebrated from Feb. 7–11, 2022, to focus attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, American School Counseling Association executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.

Lakewood will be hosting special events and activities all week in order to call attention to the countless benefits of a comprehensive school counseling program.
