School is right around the corner, and I want to help you feel confident and prepared as you head back! I'm offering a free live training all about how to use a Meet the Counselor lesson to introduce yourself to your students and advocate for your role as a school counselor. You'll get a free copy of my favorite lesson and a PD certificate for attending! This training is TODAY to make sure to use the link below in resources and save your seat!

In today's episode of School Counseling Simplified, I wanted to take a break from our usual content to let you hear directly from the amazing counselors inside the IMPACT membership. We've been talking about the Summer Summit and IMPACT over the last few episodes, and now you get to hear real experiences from real members.

Here's what some of them had to say about being part of IMPACT:

• Madelyn, a K–8 counselor, loves the ready-to-use resources, the opportunity to collaborate with other counselors in the community, and the empowering monthly PD. She's saved so much time!

• Jennifer, a school social worker, finds the data tools especially helpful for gathering feedback from both students and adults.

• Lacy appreciates the small group lessons and that the plans are already aligned with ASCA standards. She feels more prepared and loves being able to print and use the resources with ease.

• Kelly is a one-counselor team across multiple buildings. She says IMPACT helps her get things done faster by cutting down on indirect hours and increasing time spent with students.

• Marybeth has saved so much time with the low-prep, research-based lessons that her students find fun and engaging.

• Angie says IMPACT has helped her grow tremendously by offering structured support, practical tools, and a strong sense of community through monthly PD and a network of nearly 1,000 school counselors.

• Lydia relies on the ASCA-aligned resources for quick support—especially on her most challenging days.

• Jamie loves that IMPACT has freed up the time she used to spend creating lessons from scratch. Now she can focus more on direct services for her students.

• Kailey, a first-year counselor, says IMPACT has helped her make a meaningful difference in her students' lives from day one.
