Helping Open People’s Eyes as to what exactly we do and the powerful effect we have on our students;
Helping Open People’s Eyes as to the extent and ramifications of extremely large caseloads, especially when there are schools and departments who are not in compliance with the ASCA model recommended ratios;
Helping Open People’s Eyes to the suicide issue facing many communities;
Helping Open People’s Eyes to the social emotional needs of our students;
Helping Open People’s Eyes as to the need for additional community resources to assist our students and their families;
Helping Open People’s Eyes to the importance of strengthening the home/school partnership;
