Description: Each student will write an APA style paper on the professional identity of a school
counselor (if you are in the school counseling program) or a mental health counselor (if you are
in the mental health program).
1. How do you define being a School Counseling/Mental Health counselor ( Note: per
your program of study) and how is this different from other helping relationships?
2. How does the role of advocating on behalf of the profession and client fit into this?
3. What role does self care take in maintaining the ethical standards of best practice?
4. Finally, what does it mean to develop the counselor as a person and not just a
counselor.
