The authors assert that the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) model and its companion documents provide school counselors with a comprehensive framework for intervening to prevent violence. This article is a brief overview of the model, the competencies, and the standards, which are used as theoretical lenses for addressing gun violence in four scenarios and reflections. The scenarios are meant to demonstrate how the four overarching constructs of the "ASCA School Counselor Competencies"--foundation, management, delivery, and accountability--and the competencies and standards of the "ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors" are critical to the mission of school counselors to create environments that foster growth and reduce gun violence against school-aged children.
