Abstract

Advocating for your comprehensive school counseling program and gaining administrator and staff buy-in can be daunting. Decisions that impact your program can be made without counselor consideration or feedback. Channel your inner “Hamilton” and get in the “rooms where it happens,” as two school counselors share how they increased support of their program through data, food, and fun.
