Facilitating workshops or programs: The counselor may lead workshops or programs on topics like stress management, study skills, bullying prevention, self-esteem building, or substance abuse prevention.
Collaborating with other professionals: They work in collaboration with other school staff, including psychologists, social workers, special education teachers, and administrators, to ensure students receive comprehensive support.
