[Counselor_Educ] ACA Legislative Action - School Counseling

[Bowen, Nikol]

One of ACA's top legislative priorities has been advocating for and passing legislation supporting the Elementary and Secondary School Program (ESSCP).  The ESSCP is the only authorized federal program devoted to creating and expanding counseling programs in schools.

We need you to call your Congressional Member and tell them to support keeping this program alive!

Please contact them immediately and tell them to support language that will save the ESSCP! Let them know that this is program that is essential towards creating safe and healthy schools!

This program provides funds to school districts that demonstrate the greatest need for new or additional school counseling services, the greatest potential for replication or dissemination, or for programs that are the most innovative. ESSCP also allows schools to hire school counselors to ensure students have access to services and support that improve school climate, improve school safety, and ultimately student learning.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Guila Todd, ACA Legislative Representative at gtodd at counseling.org and via phone at 703-823-9800 x354
