Brief Counseling Techniques That Work

The 15-Minute Focus Series aims to help school counselors and educators overcome 3 of the biggest challenges they face:

• Limited Time to Manage the Number of Students for Whom They are Responsible
• Mental Illness Stigma
• Budget Constraints for Ongoing Training

Often, students spend more time at school than they spend with their parents. Because of this, teachers, counselors, and other school staff are often among the first to notice changes in behavior that could signal a mental or behavioral health issue. These research-based, brief counseling books target a specific mental health topic, signs to look for, practical intervention strategies, and effective ways to communicate and collaborate with internal staff, outside referrals, and student families.
