Abstract
In 2015, over 40 million people living in the U.S. were foreign-born. Georgia is one of the top ten states in the country with foreign-born residents. However, school counselors have received little training on helping these students and families. This session will offer a discussion panel for counselors to ask questions to better support their immigrant populations. Ask questions and get answers from people who can help you better serve your immigrant families!
