The New Counselor Cohort is geared towards school counselors with less than 3 years of experience, but all are welcome. The cohort is an opportunity for counselors to seek guidance while collaborating and networking with other new counselors across the region. Through this experience, counselors will gain tools to build successful programs while being supported and inspired throughout the process. These collaboration opportunities will provide an empowering environment  for counselors to learn effective proactive strategies while building professional confidence and forming powerful toolkits. Topics will vary by month.  Counselors can choose either an in-person or a virtual collaboration opportunity every month. Each cohort meeting will include topics such as: Mental Health Wellness, Mindfulness, the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs, Collaboration with Administrators, SEL through the CASEL lens, ASCA Ethics for School Counselors, and TEA updates.
