Simulations for School Counselors
Strengthening School Counselors Through Real-World Simulations

School counselors play a pivotal role in supporting student well-being, offering guidance, and addressing complex social, emotional, and academic challenges. With mental health concerns and academic pressures on the rise, the demand for well-trained counselors has never been greater. According to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), 1 in 5 children face mental health challenges, yet only a fraction receive the support they need. This underscores the need for counselors who are equipped to navigate diverse student needs with confidence and adaptability.

CounselorSims provides an interactive, scenario-based learning experience that goes beyond traditional training methods. By immersing participants in realistic decision-making situations, simulations strengthen judgment, enhance problem-solving skills, and foster a deeper understanding of student needs—all within a risk-free environment. Through this hands-on approach, counselors develop the critical skills needed to provide effective, student-centered support while addressing implicit bias and improving their overall impact.
