The Counseling Program

The Lafayette Parish Professional School Counseling Program has undergone many changes over the past decades.  Traditional descriptions of school counselors often include "guidance counselor" or "vocational counselor".  Counseling in these forms has expanded to address today's  changing society.  Many of the nation's issues can be addressed through prevention and early intervention.  Lafayette Parish Professional School Counselors continue to define new directions for their profession as they align their program with The American School Counselor Association National Model (ASCA).  More than ever, comprehensive counseling is critical to help prepare students to meet the challenges of the future. The Lafayette Parish comprehensive school program is designed to meet the needs of every student.
