Session Type: Symposium
The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color revealed what many educators already knew – educational opportunity is interwoven with wealth and privilege. Schools are facing unprecedented mental health and behavioral concerns as K-12 students are returning to school buildings after stay-at-home orders. Trained to support students’ emotional and academic wellbeing, school counselors are well positioned to lead the response to the pandemic. Yet there is limited research exploring how school counselors have adapted to meet student needs already. The papers in this symposium focus on how school counselors are promoting educational success and mental well-being, incorporating youth participatory action research to make sense of COVID-19 and racial injustice, and utilizing parent and student voice to guide their pandemic response.
