Professional School Counselors+ Regional In-Service

Each spring, supported by the Reich College of Education and the Department of Human Development and Psychological Counseling, the Professional School Counseling Program offers a regional in-service for school counselors. Watauga County school counselors help us identify a pertinent topic each year. We have had school counselors from over 12 counties in the region attend.

Our first year, Dr. Glenn Lambie presented on Youth Aggression. In 2005, Dr. Keith Davis presented on Working with Difficult Parents. Spring 2006 was a collaborative effort between Drs. Alwell, Scarboro, Williamson & Ms. Townsend on Childhood Disorders: Autism, Bi-Polar & OCD. In 2007 we had over 85 participants attend the ASCA National Model Training with Dr. Renee' Evans (NCSCA) & Ms. Cynthia Floyd (DPI). In spring 2009 we sponsored Horacio Sanchez, CEO of Resiliency, Inc. who spoke on the topic of Closing the Achievement Gap with 140 educators in attendance!

+++ School counselors are always open to collaboration and in that spirit we welcome school administrators, social workers, psychologists, counseling students, etc. to attend these educational opportunities. CEU credit through NBCC is available.
