Build Communities of Care
Abstract
Chapter 5 describes part three of the ASCC theory of change: Build. We describe the problem with traditional crisis/harm response and conflict resolution models in school counseling, which often rely on rigid steps, frame conflicts in limited ways, and contribute to more harm. We introduce Fay, an elementary school counselor, who practices with students in ways that break from traditional school counseling approaches to crisis, minimize the potential for further harm, and reframe conflict as a necessary and productive part of life. We conclude with reflective questions and experiments for school counselors to put into practice.
