“…Tasks associated with school counseling leadership vary (A. Young, Dollarhide, & Baughman, 2015) ranging from serving as accountability leaders (Sink, 2009) to advocating with and on behalf of students (Bemak & Chung, 2005; Ratts, DeKruyf, & Chen-Hayes, 2007) and facilitating school-wide screenings for mental health concerns (Erickson, 2013). Leadership practices of school counselors are also tied to greater implementation of school counseling programs (Mason, 2010; Shillingford & Lambie, 2010).…”

In this investigation, we examined the relationship between emotional intelligence, leadership self-efficacy (LSE), self-leadership, and leadership experiences among a sample of practicing school counselors. School counselors who reported higher levels of emotional intelligence also reported greater LSE, self-leadership, and leadership experiences. We discuss the implications of these findings for the practice of school counseling and potential future research on school counselor leadership.

“…These programs may consist of social and emotional curriculum development for classes or individual students, short-term counseling for students, referrals to community agencies for more long-term counseling support, and advocacy and participation in individualized education program (IEP) meetings (ASCA, 2019). School counselors also are responsible for coordinating depression screening and suicide awareness programs (Erickson & Abel, 2013). The use of counseling services at school reduces student engagement in externalized behaviors, improves student social and emotional skills, improves attendance rates and access to services, and develops levels of school connectedness (Amatea et al, 2010; Dimmitt & Wilkerson, 2012; Lemberger et al, 2018).…”

Mental health–related disabilities are a leading cause of health issues worldwide. Because of this, an argument can be made that schools integrate mental health services for their students to positively impact their mental health outcomes. This article outlines how multitiered systems of support (MTSS) can assist schools in providing all students with mental health services including students with disabilities. The role of school-based mental health professionals (i.e., school counselor, school psychologist, school social worker) within the MTSS framework is discussed to better assist teachers in helping their students access school-based mental health services.

“…When it comes to social and emotional development, counselors can play a significant role in everything from reducing negative student behaviors (Curtis et al, 2010) to reducing the spread of gossip among students (Cross & Peisner, 2009) to increasing awareness of depression and suicide risk (Erickson & Abel, 2013). Counselor support can also make a tremendous difference for students from low-income families and students from underrepresented groups, as in the examples of counselors helping students of Mexican descent build stronger relationships at school (Malott et al, 2010) and increasing the sense of empowerment and aspiration among Black males (Wyatt, 2009).…”
