Behavior Intervention for School Counselors: Mastering the Chaos

School for School Counselors Podcast

As a school counselor, you are expected to be the calm amidst the chaos- but sometimes interventions and deescalation can begin to feel frustrating or overwhelming- especially if they just keep coming! This from-the-heart conversation aims to arm you with the tools and perspectives needed to manage behavior intervention, without losing sight of your mission or your sanity. When behaviors seem to be escalating earlier than ever before, how do you remain firm yet compassionate, authoritative yet empathetic? We unravel these contradictions and the frustrations of repeatedly intervening with the same students in this episode.
We talk through:

• the pressure of meeting expectations
• overwhelm
• reframing your duties for your own optimal mental health
• how "comprehensive" program expectations may be making intervention more difficult
• that student behavior isn’t personal (even though it sometimes feels that way)
• the imposter syndrome that often shows up during behavior intervention or de-escalation
