School Counselor and Environmental Educator Partnerships: Reducing Eco-Anxiety From Climate Change, Increasing Self-Efficacy, and Enhancing Youth Advocacy

Abstract

School counselors hold unique roles as collaborative partners in schools and the community. These roles position school counselors as leaders in responses to addressing existential threats related to a changing environment. This article provides a review of literature highlighting the role school counselors maintain in partnering to reduce eco-anxiety and implications for how school counselors can incorporate the ASCA National Model framework to increase students’ self-efficacy and ecowellness to reduce eco-anxiety from climate change.
