Moving from Traditional School Counseling to Abolitionist School Counseling
Abstract
Chapter 1 begins with Amber, a school counselor, who is challenged by Jasiah, a student, who resists her use of control. The chapter lays the foundation for what abolition is and why we need it in school counseling. We then describe the power of community and introduce the members of the Abolitionist School Counseling Collective (ASCC), who are featured throughout the book to illustrate abolition in school counseling in action. We end with reflective questions and experiments for school counselors to put into practice.
