Western Suffolk Counselors Association - WSCA http://www.wsuffolkcounselors.org/ We are an affiliate of New York State School Counselor Association.

The Western Suffolk Counselors' Association (WSCA) is a not-for-profit, professional organization that was founded in 1953 for individuals engaged in, or interested in, any phase of counseling. Membership includes school counselors in public and private schools, mental health counselors, college admissions counselors, career counselors and professors and students in the field of counseling. WSCA serves as a central clearing agency for information pertinent to present, or contemplated, counseling programs in Suffolk County. WSCA maintains and improves professional standards in the field of counseling as well as encouraging creative and experimental activities in the field. WSCA hosts a variety of programs annually, including General Membership Meetings, Fall and Spring College and Career Fairs for high school juniors and seniors in Suffolk County, and an Employment Day program geared to students entering the work world after high school graduation. WSCA also holds a Spring Conference for Long Island counselors with programs specifically geared to Elementary, Middle and High School Counselors, as well as Retired Counselors, College Counselors, Mental Health Counselors and Counseling Students. WSCA also participates in the Long Island Counselors' Annual Conference (LICAC) in the Fall semester. WSCA proudly awards grants and scholarships to graduating high school students who have excelled academically, culturally and socially during their high school years. On an annual basis, WSCA also honors its professional members with a Counselor of the Year Award and its School Administrators with a Counselors/Administrator Award and luncheon. Membership in WSCA provides counseling professionals with an opportunity to increase their professional development and to network with other individuals in the counseling field.

WSCA's Holiday Happening was an amazing celebration to keep the holiday spirit alive! Members and guests came together for great company, festive vibes, and meaningful giving—donating a ton of animal care items to the Babylon Animal Shelter 🐾💙.

We enjoyed a fun bingo icebreaker and soaked in the smooth sounds of The Fellowship Jazz Band, who truly set the tone and elevated the holiday atmosphere 🎶. The abundance of raffle winners certainly delivered the holiday cheer.

NYSUT Second Vice President, Ronald Gross, joined us for the evening. He spoke to the membership about how NYSUT is supporting the Collective Care Team and updated us of upcoming workshops and advocacy rallies.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so special. If you missed it, get ready for the next WSCA event, our Professional Development Breakfast, on February 26 at Suffolk Community College!

Happy Holidays from WSCA! 🎁❄️
