April is Counseling Awareness Month!

Professional counselors help people gain personal insights, develop strategies, and come up with real-life solutions to the problems and challenges they face in every area of life. Powered by the American Counseling Association—more than 62,000 members strong—Counseling Awareness Month provides an opportunity to celebrate both the counseling profession and individuals who do this important work.

This year, we’re spotlighting mental health for children and adolescents, along with other information about how to effectively engage with professional counselors.
