"School counselors are uniquely trained to identify and assist students who are having academic and social difficulties, to work with students in crisis, and to collaborate with teachers and parents to support and advocate for student success. There are currently 26 states that do not mandate counselors in all schools, grades K-12, and many others who have unrealistic student/counselor ratios which make it impossible for counselors to reach all students equally. Let's do something now to help the mental health and well-being of our children by requiring all schools to have counselors available to all students, and by mandating a student/counselor ratio that makes effective counseling accessible to all students".
