This past summer, I was honored to present at ASCA is in my hometown of Atlanta. My presentation on SELF-ADVOCACY seemed to resonate with people b\/c now more than ever we need to teach our students about communication and finding a way to be heard. And we need to practice those skills too in the ever-changing world of education. I hope the resources below are helpful. As always, contact me <\/a>with any questions. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Looking forward to carrying on with this workshop in Hilton Head January 2024. Thanks for having me Palmetto State School Counselor Conference!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Below you will find resources for self-advocacy including: strategies for working with individuals, groups. classes and also how to advocate for ourselves as counselors\/educators. Overriding theme–> kids and adults both need to learn to communicate our needs in a way that will help us be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Here is the google folder <\/a>with the resources I presented. <\/em>See below for details of other resources).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
