Practicing Counseling in Schools as Mutual Aid
Abstract
Chapter 8 moves us from reflection to action, emphasizing counseling as mutual aid. We define and describe mutual aid, an abolitionist practice dedicated to building solidarity with young people and families. We reframe the three elements of mutual aid for counselors in schools and align each element with a central practice for abolitionist school counselors. We conclude with questions and experiments for practice.
