A Different Approach to School Safety

"Say Yes to Counselors, No to Cops" in Chicago Public Schools 

View this short documentary that highlights how one urban school in Chicago manages school safety without relying on law enforcement or harsh school disciplinary policies.

As a part of the "Say Yes to Counselors, No to Cops" campaign, I'll facilitate a conference call  tomorrow (April 21, 5pm) to discuss the drafting of a "Counselors' Bill of Rights." This document will detail best counseling practices and what will be expected of counselors as not to pathologize or criminalize our youth. If you are interested in being a part of this effort email me at veronica@veronicabohanan.com for the call-in details.
