Recenzje

"With the need for mental health services, at an all-time high, this book comes at the right time. This is not only a book for school counselors, but also for administrators as they develop their team to better envelope the whole child.　Administrative Leaders and School Counselors: Building on Theories, Standards, and Experiences for Optimal Mental Health Collaboration is a must read for future school counselors and those that lead them."

Dr. Don Beck, Ed.D., Superintendent Marion ISD

"Administrative Leaders and School Counselors: Building on Theories, Standards, and Experiences for Optimal Mental Health Collaboration provides an exceptional roadmap filled with evidenced-based resources, relevant information from experts in the field and equips administrative leaders and counselors with the tools necessary to create a system that embraces the plate on which all education rests, student mental wellness. As a former Director of Student Services, professional school counselor and licensed clinician, I highly recommend this book as go-to resource for both administrative leaders and school counselors."
