School Counseling: Focusing on Prevention and the Development of Student Well-Being

School Counseling: Focusing on Prevention and the Development of Student Well-Being recognizes the need for comprehensive school counseling programs to support their students' academic, social, and emotional development. The book emphasizes a shift from crisis intervention to crisis prevention. Built on theoretical and empirical foundations, the text addresses practical applications for school counselors in various prevention strategies across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.

School Counseling is a valuable resource for those in counseling and educational programs as well as those currently in the field. The text highlights specific conditions that school counselors encounter which affect students' development, and details evidence-based strategies for preventive interventions on both a broad school-wide scale and for targeted, at-risk student populations. The book provides readers with case studies, practice exercises, and resources in each chapter to translate knowledge into practice, including learning objectives, issue descriptions supported by research, strategies and concept illustrations, and references for further study and real-world application.
