Social-emotional issues
Career readiness efforts
Academic guidance work

…and that endless list of “oh, by the way” tasks that school counselors face, it turns into a nightmare!

At TEEN TRUTH, we know overcoming these obstacles will require innovative, and experienced professionals.

That’s why we’ve hired our very own school counselor, Stephanie Lerner, to create a blog highlighting her best practices for uniting counselors, educators, and administrators into a combined effort to build strong school culture and student resilience. She is here to guide and inspire you as we build stronger counseling programs across our family of schools.

Stephanie taught middle and elementary school for 8 years with the Howard County Public School System. In 2002, she joined the Peace Corps as a teacher trainer, and for the last 9 years she’s been working as a school counselor in the Texas public school system just outside of Austin, TX.

She knows that the beginning of your year blasts off like a rocket, so her first TEEN TRUTH blog is geared to help you make it a smooth launch!

Click here to read Stephanie’s “7 Back to School Tips for Counselors” blog.

Also, click here for a FREE guidance lesson on how to introduce your school counseling program to your students. In it, Stephanie shares some great advice on connecting with your students – a crucial first step in launching a powerful counseling program!

We are elated to have Stephanie on board and hope that you find the information helpful.

You don’t have to face the new year alone – we’re here to help! You can share your burden with us by booking our school assembly, leadership summit, or SEL curriculum at your campus.
