School Counselling in Canada
A Comprehensive Guide
By Kristina Berynets, Lisa Porter, Deanna C. C. Peluso, Maria Stella
Description
School Counselling in Canada: A Comprehensive Guide is a collaborative text that explores the evolving and multi-faceted role of school counsellors at the intersection of education, mental health, and advocacy. Unlike general counselling resources, this book focuses on the specific challenges and responsibilities of school counsellors within Canadian contexts. School counsellors are not only advocates, confidants, and guides—they are also clinicians, educators, collaborators, and leaders who are instrumental in creating supportive and inclusive educational and counselling environments that promote student wellbeing and success.
This book blends scholarly research, lived experience, and practitioner wisdom to examine the evolving profession, ethical considerations, and the diverse and complex realities of school counselling across Canada. Using a collaborative co-author model, featuring school counsellors, practitioners, educators, and members of the Indigenous community, from various provinces, the chapters unpack specialized school counselling knowledge that will serve both future practitioners and their students in reaching their full potential. Designed for current and future school counsellors, as well as educators, administrators, and the education community as a whole, this guide offers the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of school counselling and better support student wellbeing, equity, and meaningful change.
Its comprehensive and collaborative approach to school counselling makes this resource suitable for Education and School Counselling programs at Canadian Universities.
