Abstract
The field of school counseling has evolved over the years to transform counselor roles from that of a guidance counselor to that of a professional school counselor positioned to meet the academic, career, and social/emotional needs of all students. In order to contribute to student success, school counselors must be aware of those needs and consider contextual and environmental factors that may impact student experiences. This chapter will address cultural considerations in school counseling, factors that impact service delivery, strategies for counselor self-reflection and professional growth, approaches for building relationships, ideas for rebranding mental health, and the use of courageous conversations.
