HKSYU Course Resources

"This book provides a solution-focused approach to working alongside students, parents, and teachers that decreases misbehaviors, encourages mental health and growth in students, and provides social emotional learning opportunities. Grounded in the notion that focusing on problems is time consuming, and often leads to frustration when tried and true remedies fail, the book provides a simple three-step approach to having solution-focused conversations with students, parents, and in RTI and team meetings. This systemic approach enlists the client rather than the counselor to conjure a preferred plan for success, consequently reducing future counseling visits and promoting independent success in students. Each chapter includes a specific topic that was developed from the issues and situations faced by school counselors today, including consideration for working with all students, including LGBTQ students, and those with traumatic experiences or substance abuse. Complete with specific dialogues for students of all ages, and case studies, this text provides school counselors with a road map to looking beyond problems and seeking solutions with students"--
