Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • For School Counselors

    I love the content of this podcast, although for some reason many episodes are missing. I see all 26 episodes on my computer, but I am missing several on the app, including the one I really want to hear on Matt Berry. Also, the sound quality is really poor. If it were not for these 2 reasons, it would have been 5star review.

  • Great episodes!

    I love this podcast, however, I would like to see episodes that discuss various demographics. I’d love to hear from counselors from Urban schools. Also, could something please be done about the audio? It sounds so so low! Otherwise, great topics! 🙌🏽

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 63: Connection as Prevention: The School Counselor’s Role in Suicide Prevention
Q: Why is it important for school counselors to focus on suicide prevention before a crisis?
Because prevention interfaces with every part of the counselor's work—bullying prevention, teaching coping and help-seeking skills, and connecting students to resources—it's foundational to student safety and wellbeing and can reduce crises when acted on proactively.
Episode 61: Growing Through Challenges: Helping Students Build Resilience
Q: How can mindfulness be introduced in a practical, non-religious way that students will actually engage with?
By framing mindfulness as paying attention on purpose and using simple breath-work and body-awareness exercises, starting with basic belly breathing and short, guided practices that fit into class transitions or advisory periods, while clearly separating it from religious instruction.
Episode 61: Growing Through Challenges: Helping Students Build Resilience
Q: Brent, what do you see as the biggest opportunities for school counselors to impact student well-being today?
The major opportunities lie in integrating growth mindset, mindfulness, and practical coping strategies into everyday routines, using school-wide data to identify needs, and ensuring counselors guide students toward resilience and social-emotional development alongside academics.
Episode 56: Opening Doors: The 2026 SCOY on Using Data to Help Each and Every Student Succeed
Q: For school counselors listening who want to advocate for equity but may feel hesitant to speak up, what advice would you give to them?
They should gather data to support their advocacy for equity and find ways to engage student voices through panels and feedback.
Episode 56: Opening Doors: The 2026 SCOY on Using Data to Help Each and Every Student Succeed
Q: Can you explain what open access looks like at Crofton now and why it matters for equity?
Open access means students can take any course they've got the prerequisites for, ensuring equitable opportunities in advanced classes.
