Coinciding with National School Counseling Week 2013, the California Endowment Foundation released a video of students "urging decision makers to include counseling and other support service providers for youth as part of comprehensive approaches to improve school safety." The Foundation also sponsored a survey released last week showing "strong support for school counselors." The survey of 1,200 California voters showed that "84% of respondents favored increasing the number of trained counselors in schools (including 55% [who] “strongly support”). And when asked whether placing counselors or armed police in schools was the more effective strategy for preventing violence, more than two-thirds picked counselors over police (67% to 26%)." We thank the California Endowment Foundation for their focus on the mental health aspect of the whole child and for their support of additional school counselors in schools.
