Abstract
Advocating for your counseling program is essential if you are to have a meaningful, comprehensive school counseling program. Past GSCA Presidents and a former State Representative will share information including how to advocate with your principal, your teachers, community members, and state legislators. Attendees will have opportunities to share their experiences/hesitancies in advocacy, and suggestions will be given as to how one can make such experiences more positive. Handouts regarding advocacy will be distributed.
