Let’s talk about something that may (or may not) ruffle some feathers - our title! 

Does it really matter if we’re called guidance counselors instead of school counselors? Well, I would argue that it matters a lot, and I’m not the only one. In 1990, ASCA officially announced that our professional title is a school counselor and not a guidance counselor.

And yet, we’re still called guidance counselors all the time. In fact, there’s a good chance that you are listed as a guidance counselor at your own school! If this is true for you, and you haven’t really thought twice about it, I hope to change your mind in today’s episode.

Are you feeling fired up to take a stand against the title ‘guidance counselor’ or do you not really care either way? Send me a message on Instagram @counselorclique and let me know your thoughts!
