Title: Creating Social-Emotional Supportive School Environments
Session 1
09:00-10:50 (or 8:50 to 10:50)
Session description:
Now more than ever before students need mental health support in school to address stress, trauma, and feelings of insecurity. Recent data shows adolescent mental health has worsened during and since the pandemic and this reinforces the important role schools play in promoting mental health and well-being (CDC, 2023). Children, youth, and teens face an increase in anxiety and insecurity which may be attributed to issues such as social media dependency, exposure to world-wide violence, and upticks in bullying. Schools and school counselors increasingly need to identify and respond to student social/emotional development and mental health issues. Students in International and DoD school may be seeking a place to belong as oftentimes their families move frequently. For children and youth, mental health also includes reaching developmental and emotional milestones, and acquiring learning skills to cope with challenges and function well at home, school, and in their communities. Mental health is a component of behavioral health, which also includes choices or actions that affect overall wellness. Social-emotional learning (SEL), as a component of comprehensive school counseling programs, include universal interventions for every student to help them process their experience, promote resilience to adversity and help our students and families’ cope. This session also will incorporate transformative social and emotional learning which focuses specifically on advancing equity among all students and addressing inequity (e.g., how issues of race, class, and culture influence society). Building a successful SEL program involves engaging administrators, teachers, and school staff in a collaborative developmental process and can become a key asset in the mental health climate and culture in your school community.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
● Examine current challenges to students’ feeling safe and secure in our schools.
● Explore how social/emotional learning contributes to a positive learning environment.
● Recognize factors in the school environment, school climate, and school culture that influence and impact students’ success.
● Identify the steps necessary to incorporate social/emotional learning as an integral component of the comprehensive school counseling program.
● Problem solve your school’s needs through discussion of case studies.
● Exploring the link between SEL and sexual violence prevention.

Title: It’s On US! Sexual Violence Prevention
Session 2
11:10-13:00 (11:10-13:10pm)
Session description:
Sexual violence as defined by WHO refers to “any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances, or acts to traffic, or otherwise directed, against a person’s sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting, including but not limited to home and work” (WHO, 2021). Violence against women and children permeates all societies and crosses boundaries of race, religion, and cultures. The effects of sexual violence are extensive and long lasting impacting the whole community. An individual’s psychological/socio-emotional and their academic performance do not exist in isolation from each other and cannot be treated as such. The rise in sexual violence in schools is very worrisome indeed and needs to be viewed as an epidemic that necessitates immediate action. This workshop aims to address the urgent need for effective prevention strategies and interventions to combat sexual violence in educational settings. It will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of sexual violence in schools and its impact on a students’ physical, psychological and emotional well-being. Participants learning, will equip students with the skills needed to help peers who may be survivors of sexual violence and promote an environment that is safe and supportive.
In addition, this session will provide counsellors with practical guidance on how to respond to the disclosure of sexual violence, ensuring that they are aware of legal procedures and pathways to help survivors navigate their traumatic experience.
Finally, the session will emphasise the importance of a collaborative approach when addressing sexual violence which have proven to be successful when there is a collaborative and repetitive effort from all stakeholders including: school counsellors, directors, principals, school staff and teachers in order to create effective policies and procedures that address prevention and support services.
Learning Objectives
● Recognize the signs and symptoms of sexual violence.
● Evaluate personal biases and assumptions related to sexual violence prevention.
● Examine evidence based strategies and interventions for preventing sexual violence in school settings; tailored to the needs of students.
● Identify steps in providing a supportive, trauma-informed response to a disclosure of sexual violence.
● Explore the importance of collaborating with other disciplines, such as psychiatrists social workers, educators, lawyers, doctors in addressing sexual violence.
● Exploring the link between SEL and sexual violence prevention.

Title: Modernizing University Counseling Clinics: Updates, Lessons, and Best Practices through a Global Pandemic
It has been four years since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The developments spurred by the Global pandemic have increased the need for access to mental health services. As university clinics transitioned to telemental health, this created new obstacles for training and services, however it allowed for new accessible avenues for clients to get healthcare services. Master’s-level students provide services at university clinics, which are offered to the students and the local community at a significantly reduced cost. Presenters will introduce their work from The Center for Counseling and Diagnostic Services (CCDS) Clinic, which offers three distinct services: counseling, psychoeducational assessments, and reading intervention (Ortiz & Levine, 2021). The functional nature of this clinic dedicates time and resources to collaboration across multiple helping professions, including school psychology, counseling, and language and literacy. Participants in this Counseling MakersSpace can work with multiple helpers on how their clinic can transition to telemental health, maintain safety, and continue to transition with community needs. Presenters will provide updates, lessons learned, and ethical considerations for best practice, explicitly addressing client, counselor-in-training, and supervisor experiences through program evaluation. Participants can attend at any level of interest or creation. Presenters will collaborate to personalize and develop a plan for starting, establishing, and updating clinics through the current health, safety, and security developments. The overarching goal is to increase access and decrease barriers to mental health, training, funding and education.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the workshop participants will:
● Understand clinic expansion and examples and apply them to their current clinic development.
● Analyze their clinic development with accessibility standards, ethical practice, and cultural relevance.
● Create an implementation plan for their next steps in clinic development, including client experiences, counselor-in-training supervision, supervisor support, marketing, community immersion, funding, and program evaluation.
