Pandemic-Related Stressors of School Counselors: Implications for Resilience and Retention
Elizabeth M. Vera; Amy J. Heineke
Psychology in the Schools, v61 n11 p4322-4346 2024
This qualitative study examined 17 school counselors' pandemic-related experiences to identify demands, resources, and consequences to well-being. Among the main demands were increases in student social-emotional impairment, role confusion, and top-down policy modifications that made it more challenging to do their jobs. The top resources were support from colleagues and individual limit-setting. Consequences to well-being were mixed, but exhaustion and recommitments to self-care were the most frequently reported. Implications for retention of school counselors and training are discussed.
