Celebrating the Resilient School Counselor

NYSSCA Annual Conference, November 16-17, 2018

The 2018 conference is about “Celebrating the Resilient School Counselor”. We as school counselors work so hard to empower our students in making the best choices to enhance their success in life, until we forget we need to nourish our inner souls. Counselors will be enlightened not only with resources provided by the workshops, but how to care for themselves through meditation, yoga, song, and dance. School Counselors, bring your yoga mats for a good workout.

Our conference will be held at the Sagamore Resort, Bolton Landing, New York, Friday, November 16, and Saturday November 17, 2018. View registration and hotel information.

The conference will feature more than 30 breakout sessions to engage all levels and interests. We are also looking forward to joining our exceptional group of exhibitors and sponsors. We have added to our conference this year, Graduate Poster session.

We are pleased to announce our Keynote Speakers, Dr. Tracy Jackson, Supervisor of School Counseling Services for Loudoun County Public Schools, Rev. Dr. Bryant T. Marks, Sr., Founding Director of the National Training and Education Institute, and Kwok-Sze Richard Wong, EdD, Executive Director, American School Counselor Association

Hope to see you at the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, New York.
