The stress levels of counselors, students, teachers and families are at an all-time high. We asked three of our board members how they put self-care into practice while working from home in the spring--and what lessons they learned from working from home that will help as they spend the summer preparing for school to start in the fall.

If you have any questions or would like to add a counselor colleague to our email list, please contact us at info@nationalccaa.org .
