This past Spring, Duellman and I attended the annual Minnesota School Counselor Association Conference (MSCA). This conference is held every year in Brainerd, MN and this year's theme was "Find your Inner Superhero". The conference is a great chance for Heather and I to collaborate with fellow counselors and talk about common issues/trends that we are seeing within our schools. Sessions at the conference vary in topic from career counseling to providing support for students struggling with mental health. The conference is a wonderful opportunity for us to learn more about best practices being used across the state and to reaffirm our beliefs and passions as counselors.
Heather and I were able to attend the following break-out sessions at this year's conference:
Increasing Group Counseling Effectiveness - School and University Collaboration
Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in Schools
Anxious Youth: A Practitioner's Toolbox for Group Sessions
Gender Considerations
Counselor PLC's
Restorative Practices in K-12 Schools
Check-out our Google slides for a little more information on each of these sessions and some of our thoughts! Let us know if you have any questions!
